The European commercial and public sectors' consumption of solid fossil fuels in 2023 highlights Poland and Ukraine as the largest consumers, with Poland at the forefront. Noticeable decreases were seen in nations like Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, and the Netherlands. In contrast, Croatia showed a significant surge, with a remarkable increase of nearly 84% year-on-year. Smaller consumer nations such as Norway and Albania exhibited mild growth. The 5-year compound annual growth rate trends suggest a declining usage as Europe increasingly moves towards cleaner energy solutions.
Future trends to watch include increased adoption of renewable energy and stricter environmental regulations which are likely to accelerate the decline in solid fossil fuel consumption across Europe. Nations are expected to further emphasize energy transition strategies, pushing for innovative green technologies and infrastructure development in the coming years.
