In 2023, Germany led the European bioenergy final consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector with a significant share, followed by Italy and the United Kingdom. The consumption growth was notable in countries like Denmark, Latvia, and Hungary with double-digit increases, while some countries like Portugal and Austria saw declines. Ukraine achieved the highest year-on-year growth of bioenergy consumption at 23.1%, and Bosnia and Herzegovina recorded an impressive relative increase though from a low base. On the contrary, Malta experienced a decline over the year.
Looking ahead, the focus will likely shift toward enhancing efficiency and further adoption of sustainable bioenergy practices. Countries with emerging positive trends, like the Netherlands, Greece, and Romania, are expected to drive growth. Additionally, policy developments and technological advancements in bioenergy can influence the sector across Europe. Energy independence and sustainability goals will likely play a pivotal role, encouraging West and East Europe to explore bioenergy in industrial applications.
