In 2023, Romania led in motor gasoline consumption in the wood sector, with a substantial 42.43% increase year-on-year, reaching 5.86 GWh. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia also experienced notable increases of 10.3% and 55.07%, respectively. Moldova remained steady with no change, while Latvia and Croatia saw significant decreases of 40.21% and 32.36%. Sweden and Slovenia, despite smaller amounts, showed positive trends with increases of 13.92% and 10.62% respectively.
Future trends to watch include:
- The stabilization and potential further increase in Romania's consumption given recent drastic growth.
- The potential for rebound or stabilization in declining countries like Latvia and Croatia.
- Adapting to regulatory changes impacting biofuel portions could alter consumption patterns across Europe.
- Economic factors and environmental policies will continue to heavily influence this sector’s energy consumption.
