The 2023 data indicates that Poland leads in solid fossil fuel availability, while Germany and Ukraine follow. Noticeable declines were observed in major countries: Poland, France, and the UK, with the UK showing a significant 7.49% reduction. Improved availability in Norway and smaller nations like Macedonia and Kosovo presented noteworthy growth. Over the past five years, consumption's compound annual growth rate often showed modest declines, pointing towards consistent decreases in consumption.
For future trends, policymakers should watch for continued decreases in fossil fuel use due to energy transitions, with growth in renewables potentially leading to reduced reliance on solid fossil fuels across Europe.
