In 2023, Germany led the consumption of solid fossil fuels in the non-metallic minerals sector across Europe with 1.37 Mtoe, followed by Ukraine and Poland. There was a notable decrease in consumption in Poland (-4.27%), Italy (-4.05%), and the UK (-7.2%), while countries like Croatia and Cyprus saw significant increases of 14.68% and 9.8%, respectively. The compound annual growth rate over the last five years reveals modest overall fluctuations across Europe, with Germany maintaining a strong lead, despite showing only minor growth.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of EU policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, which could lead to decreased solid fossil fuel consumption in favor of alternative energy sources. Additionally, advancements in energy efficiency and technology in the non-metallic minerals sector might influence consumption patterns across different countries, likely reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
