In 2023, Germany led fossil energy consumption in the European non-ferrous metal sector with a consumption of 1.48 million tonnes of oil equivalent but faced a reduction of 2.43% from the previous year. Spain and Ukraine experienced slight growth, while notable declines occurred in the UK and France by 4.75% and 3.83%, respectively. Minor decreases in Malta and Cyprus highlight disparities across smaller economies. Over five years, diversifying energy sources and technological advancements influence these trends. Growth in cleaner technologies, investments in renewables, and regulatory changes are expected to impact Europe's transition from fossil fuels in the non-ferrous sector.
