In 2023, the Netherlands led European geothermal power consumption in agriculture and forestry with 7.5 thousand terajoules, marking a 14.98% increase from the previous year. Hungary followed with 1.65 thousand terajoules, reflecting a decrease of 1.55%. France and Italy showed modest increases of 0.7% and 2.44%, respectively. Iceland's consumption inched up slightly by 0.083%, whereas Slovenia reported a 1.74% rise. Macedonia, Greece, Croatia, and Serbia experienced declines, with significant reductions in Serbia (-20.72%) and Croatia (-12.64%). Slovakia rose by 1.99%, while Romania's consumption grew by 7.05%.
Future trends to observe include a potential continued rise in geothermal consumption in leading countries like the Netherlands and Italy, driven by increased agricultural demand. Conversely, declining figures in countries such as Serbia and Greece may stabilize if strategic investments materialize. Monitoring advancements in geothermal technologies and EU policies promoting renewable energy use will be crucial factors influencing these trends.
