In 2023, Ukraine led European heat final consumption in mining and quarrying with 32.48 Terajoules, followed by Poland and the Netherlands. Notable growth occurred in Bulgaria and Italy, with increases of 35.77% and 33.98%, respectively. However, significant declines were observed in France and Ukraine. Norway demonstrated remarkable growth at 85.51%, albeit from a lower base. While some regions experienced growth, others showed stagnation or slight declines. The data highlights regional disparities in heat consumption within the industry, reflecting varied levels of industrial activity and energy transition progress across Europe.
Looking ahead, trends to watch include the impact of energy transition policies on industrial heat demand, particularly in mining regions. Efforts to increase energy efficiency and shift towards renewable sources will likely influence consumption patterns further. The ability to adapt to these changes will determine future consumption dynamics across European countries in this sector.
