In 2023, Germany significantly led European countries in renewable municipal waste consumption in industry with 23.95 thousand terajoules, followed by the UK's 2.85 thousand terajoules. Latvia saw the highest year-on-year increase at 15.48%, while Hungary also reported notable growth at 21.76%. Estonia experienced a decline of 11.2%, indicating potential challenges in sustaining its current levels. Germany, the largest consumer, showcased a growth of 2.53%, maintaining its dominant position.
In the future, attention should be focused on consistency in growth in Latvia and Hungary, expected technological advancements, and policy-driven shifts across Europe. Monitoring how countries with negative trajectories such as Estonia and Finland adjust their renewable strategies will also provide insights into the evolution of industrial energy consumption from municipal waste.
