In 2023, Germany led European nations in gross electricity production from non-renewable municipal waste with a share of 24.28 terajoules, despite a slight decline of 0.73% from the previous year. The United Kingdom, representing 18.69 terajoules, showed significant growth of 5.49% year-on-year. Poland exhibited remarkable growth with a 14.85% increase. While Italy and France saw minor drops, Lithuania and Slovakia reported the highest increases at 44.86% and 35.2% respectively. Over the last five years, varying Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGRs) suggest a mixed trend in non-renewable municipal waste electricity production.
Future trends to watch include:
- Continued growth in Eastern European countries due to technological adoption and infrastructure investments.
- The impact of stricter environmental regulations potentially reducing reliance on non-renewable sources.
- Possible shifts in energy policies that could affect waste management and energy production strategies across Europe.
