The European bioenergy consumption in rail transport showed significant variations across countries. Germany and the UK led with substantial consumption, and countries like Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Serbia exhibited remarkable year-on-year growth in 2023. Conversely, Greece experienced a steep decline. Noteworthy increases in some smaller markets, such as Estonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, reflect diverse progress across Europe. The Netherlands and Lithuania also demonstrated significant boosts, indicating rising adoption of bioenergy in rail.
Future trends to watch include potential policy shifts towards sustainable transport, advancements in bioenergy technologies, and cross-border collaborations to enhance rail bioenergy integration, potentially shifting the landscape over the next decade.
