In 2023, Germany led European renewable municipal waste production at 136.66 thousand Terajoules. The UK and France followed with 57.05 and 54.39 thousand Terajoules, respectively. Poland, Cyprus, and Latvia saw significant increases of over 10%, with Lithuania experiencing an extraordinary growth of nearly 28%. A mixed performance was observed in Denmark and Norway, both recording marginal declines.
Future trends could see Germany further solidifying its leadership in waste-to-energy conversion. The UK's growth potential remains promising, while Eastern European nations like Poland and Hungary are likely to continue rising due to increasing investments in waste management and renewable energy initiatives.
