The European Chemical and Petrochemical Sector's consumption of solid fossil fuels varies across countries. In 2023, significant contributors included Poland and the Czech Republic, while smaller consumers like the UK and Italy showed notable reductions. Some countries displayed positive year-on-year variation, with Norway and Serbia seeing increases in consumption, though declines were prevalent in countries such as Germany and Austria. The last five years indicate a reduction in solid fossil fuel consumption as regions move towards energy transition.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The impact of stricter environmental regulations on fossil fuel usage.
- The pace of technological advancements in alternative energy sources specific to the chemical and petrochemical sectors.
- The influence of geopolitical factors and supply chain adjustments on fossil fuel dependency.
- Potential increases or decreases in production capacities affecting fuel demand.
