In 2023, Germany led European bioenergy consumption in the wood and wood products sector with significant use, followed by Poland and Sweden. Latvia, Finland, and Austria made up a substantial part of the mid-tier, while France experienced a slight decrease. Most of the smaller countries, like Estonia and Greece, showed strong growth, except a notable decline in the UK's consumption. Ukraine, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina recorded remarkable increases, reflecting a volatile marketplace. Over five years, these shifts depict divergent consumption patterns, with Eastern Europe showing potential for accelerated growth.
Looking towards the future, expect bioenergy demand in this sector to expand in Eastern European countries as they invest in renewable energy sources. Western Europe might focus on optimizing and improving efficiency in existing consumption patterns. Policymaking and sustainability goals will significantly impact these trends, potentially incentivizing higher consumption and technology uptake in lower-usage nations.
