In 2023, Germany led Europe's renewable municipal waste consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector with 4.46 Thousand GWh, followed by Latvia and Ireland. Germany showed modest growth at 1.63%, while Latvia and Hungary exhibited significant increases of 15.55% and 21.95%, respectively. Other noteworthy changes include Cyprus's 10.3% rise, with Denmark and Estonia experiencing declines. Notably, Poland saw a drastic 42.21% reduction.
Future trends to watch:
- Potential technological advancements might increase efficiency in waste-to-energy processes.
- Countries with low consumption like Poland and France could seek EU initiatives to boost their contributions.
- The impact of stricter environmental regulations may incentivize a broader adoption across all countries.
