European Anthracite Energy Supply Share by Country (Terajoules)

In 2023, Ukraine led the European anthracite energy supply with a substantial share, followed by Germany and France. Notably, Italy and the Czech Republic displayed the most significant year-on-year growth rate, with an increase of 14.71% and 14.53%, respectively. Conversely, Ukraine and Germany saw the largest declines, at -9.0% and -10.76%. While most countries experienced a reduction or minimal growth, nations like Poland and Romania showed slight positive variation. The compound average growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years highlights overall stagnant trends across the region, reflecting marginal shifts in anthracite supply shares.

Future trends to watch include:

• The stability of Ukraine as a major supplier, given recent variations in its market.
• An increased shift towards renewable energy sources in Western Europe, potentially impacting anthracite demand.
• The potential for Eastern European countries to increase their supply share due to growing energy needs and market adaptations.
