The data from 2023 indicates that Italy leads European solar thermal energy consumption in agriculture and forestry, with a significant value of 35.09 GWh. This is followed by Spain and France with 20.84 GWh and 19.67 GWh, respectively. Austria and Germany display moderate consumption, while Belgium remains low at 0.88 GWh. Year-on-year analysis shows Italy growing by 6.68%, Austria by 4.62%, and Germany by 1.69%, whereas Spain and France experience minimal changes. Belgium, however, sees a slight decrease of 1.48%. Over the past five years, Italy and Austria seem to have a positive trend in solar thermal adoption.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential growth from policy incentives and technological advances across EU nations.
- The impact of climate change targets driving solar thermal energy adoption.
- Differentials in energy adoption behavior among Southern and Northern European countries.
