In 2023, Poland led Europe's solid fossil fuel consumption in construction, recording 44.2 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, despite a notable 19.05% decline from the previous year. Hungary and Luxembourg followed, showing slight declines, while Kosovo experienced a remarkable 14.73% increase. Negative trends were prevalent, particularly in the Czech Republic and Ukraine, with double-digit percentage decreases. Historical analysis indicates a consistent decline across most countries, reflecting a shift towards sustainable energy sources.
Future trends to watch include:
- An anticipated acceleration in transitioning towards renewable energy in construction, especially in Western and Central Europe.
- Continued reduction in fossil fuel consumption as regulatory frameworks tighten and green building practices gain traction.
