In 2023, France experienced a significant surge in renewable and biofuel consumption within the non-ferrous metal sector, with a year-on-year increase of more than double, reaching a dominant position in Europe. Serbia and Greece also saw notable increases, while Germany and the Czech Republic observed declines. Countries such as Norway, Ukraine, Cyprus, Macedonia, and Romania showed no change. Over the past five years, France has demonstrated a considerable compounded annual growth rate, establishing itself as a leader in this field. In contrast, many Eastern European countries have seen stagnant or declining trends.
Future trends to watch include:
- Continued growth in France as sustainability initiatives expand.
- Potential increases in investment and consumption in Southern Europe due to developing biofuel technologies.
- The need for Eastern Europe to enhance infrastructure to boost renewable energy usage.
