In 2023, Germany led European renewable municipal waste gross heat production with a notable share, followed by Sweden and France. Noteworthy year-on-year growth was evident in Poland and Lithuania, showcasing substantial increases, while Hungary and Austria also showed significant upward trends. Countries like Estonia and Romania were outliers with impressive percentage growth, although from a smaller base. The UK and other western countries remained stable, reflecting maturity in their systems.
Future trends to monitor include technological advancements boosting efficiency and capacity, policy shifts on waste management, and investment in infrastructure, particularly in Eastern Europe, providing opportunities for increased contributions from currently emerging markets.
