European production of solid fossil fuels is led by Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic as the top producers. In 2023, a general decline is observed with Germany seeing the largest year-on-year decrease of 8.91%, while Poland and Ukraine followed closely. In contrast, production in Kosovo and Montenegro slightly increased. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a declining trend in most countries except minor growth in a few like Kosovo.
Future trends to watch include a continued decline in solid fossil fuel production as European countries increasingly focus on transitioning to renewable energy sources. Policies such as the European Union’s Green Deal are likely to accelerate this shift, directly impacting production levels and strategies in the solid fossil fuel sector.
