In 2023, Italy led the bioenergy consumption in the European textile and leather sector with 19.22 GWh, followed by the UK at 16.08 GWh. Notable year-on-year growth was seen in Ukraine (14.93%), the Netherlands (15.71%), Denmark (14.92%), and Sweden (21.5%), suggesting a regional shift towards renewable energy. Conversely, Greece experienced a substantial decline (-14.65%), indicating potential economic or policy shifts. The compound annual growth rate over the past five years reveals a strong, albeit varied, adoption of bioenergy across these countries.
Future trends to watch include the potential for increased bioenergy adoption in lagging regions, spurred by stricter EU directives on renewable energy and sustainability. Advances in bioenergy technology and cost reductions may further bolster consumption, potentially transforming the European textile and leather energy landscape.
