In 2023, Sweden led in European bioenergy gross heat production with 38.24 thousand GWh, followed closely by Denmark and Finland. Exceptional growth was recorded in the Netherlands (16.27%) and Bulgaria (17.85%), while Italy experienced a slight decline. Notably, Luxembourg (29.8%) and Malta (42.47%) saw significant increases, albeit from smaller bases. Serbia marked the highest year-on-year growth at 41.02% in 2023, contrasting with minor declines in Moldova and Cyprus. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate has generally been positive across the region, indicating a solid upward trend in bioenergy production.
Looking forward, expect continued growth in bioenergy production, driven by policy initiatives favoring renewable energy, technological advancements, and the push towards achieving net-zero emissions targets. Fluctuations may occur due to varying national energy policies and changing economic conditions, with Eastern European countries poised for significant growth due to increasing investments in green energy infrastructure.
