In 2023, Germany led in non-renewable waste gross electricity production in Europe, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy, and France. Notable year-on-year growth was observed in the UK with a 5.19% increase, Poland at 10.05%, and Slovakia at an impressive 88.92%. Conversely, Italy, France, and Bulgaria saw declines, with Bulgaria experiencing a significant drop of nearly 15%. Overall, growth trends have been sporadic, with some countries like Lithuania and Slovakia showing remarkable increases over the past two years.
Looking forward into 2024, European countries may continue diversifying energy sources. Trends to monitor include technological advancements in waste-to-energy processes, policy changes around waste management, and potential impacts of stricter regulations on non-renewable resources, which may drive a shift towards renewable energy alternatives.
