In 2023, Poland led with the highest share of solid fossil fuels available for final consumption in Europe, followed by Germany and Ukraine. These key players experienced negative growth trends, with significant declines in Poland, France, and the United Kingdom. Notably, Poland showed a year-on-year decrease of 5.29%, and the UK experienced a sharp drop of 7.49%. Amidst declines in most countries, Kosovo, Cyprus, and Croatia exhibited positive growth, with Kosovo particularly standing out with a 32.01% increase.
Looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, a shift towards renewable energy sources and potential policy changes could influence these trends, especially in the context of European Union climate goals. Countries like Norway and emerging markets in Eastern Europe may see developments in their fossil fuel consumption dynamics due to technological and regulatory advancements.
