In 2023, France led the European consumption of liquefied petroleum gases in mining and quarrying at 27.95 terajoules, followed by Poland at 13.16 terajoules. Noticeable increases occurred in Romania with a substantial 78.34% rise and Serbia with 42.67%, while notable declines were seen in Hungary, down by 34.16%, and Ireland with a 29.36% decrease. Over five years, consumption fluctuated with varying regional trends, such as Austria's robust growth compared to Spain's decreases.
Future trends to watch include heightened energy efficiency measures and potential shifts towards alternative energy sources within the sector, which may lead to decreasing LPG consumption in mining and greater variability by country as policies adapt to climate strategies.
