In 2023, Albania led European countries in anthracite consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector, with significant consumption also noted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, and France. Noteworthy trends over recent years include an increase in Slovakia's consumption by 16.38% and minor growth in Bulgaria and Albania. In contrast, Poland and Belgium saw declines in consumption. Over the last five years, Poland and France observed consistent declines, reflecting a potential shift towards alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch include:
- The impact of alternative energy adoption on coal consumption in high-use countries like Albania.
- How geopolitical factors in Ukraine may influence its consumption patterns.
- Potential recovery or further decline in Poland and France amid energy transition policies.
