In 2023, Poland led lignite consumption in agriculture and forestry with 12.99 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, despite a 4.09% decline from the previous year. The Czech Republic and Bulgaria also saw declining usage, experiencing decreases of 11.0% and 0.73%, respectively. Greece showed a marginal increase of 0.95%, while Slovakia saw an uptick with a 4.85% rise. Slovenia bucked the negative trend with its usage growth, whereas Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced a sharp 24.56% decline. This pattern hints at a regional shift toward energy transition.
Future trends to watch include continued declines in lignite consumption due to energy efficiency improvements, stricter environmental regulations, and shifts toward renewable energy sources. Monitoring these changes will be key to understanding how European countries adapt their energy strategies, especially within agriculture and forestry sectors.
