The 2023 data reveals a varied landscape of fossil energy consumption in European agriculture and forestry, with the Netherlands leading, closely followed by France and Poland. Germany experienced significant growth at 4.74%, while Denmark faced a substantial decline of 5.7%. Eastern countries like Moldova and Bosnia had notable increases of 9.74% and 8.79% respectively. Smaller economies such as Estonia and Montenegro faced double-digit decreases.
Future trends to watch include the shift towards renewable sources as EU policies tighten emissions frameworks. Countries with rising usage may increase efficiency, while those already reducing may further pioneer renewable adoption to improve sustainability metrics.
