In 2023, Norway led European primary solid biofuels consumption in the iron and steel sector, maintaining steady usage. Ukraine saw a substantial increase of nearly 50%, second after Norway. Germany and France experienced significant increases, with growth rates of 56.04% and 41.62% respectively. Macedonia and Hungary also showed growth, while Slovakia and Iceland observed declines.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts due to regulatory changes and renewable energy incentives across Europe. Rising concerns over carbon emissions might drive higher adoption of biofuels, particularly in countries currently showing lower consumption levels like Poland and Italy.
