The final consumption of natural gas in the European Non-Ferrous Metals sector shows significant variation by country. In 2023, countries like Germany and Spain dominated consumption, with Germany alone accounting for over 36.64 thousand terajoules. Notably, Spain experienced a 4.97% increase, while Greece saw a dramatic 17.51% rise. Conversely, France and Italy reported declines of 1.73% and 1.11% respectively. Smaller consumers, such as Latvia and Estonia, saw noticeable decreases of 6.14% and 13.3% respectively, whereas Bulgaria and Slovenia marked over 5% increases.
Looking forward, the European Non-Ferrous Metals sector's natural gas consumption will likely be influenced by shifts toward sustainability and energy efficiency. Countries leading in technological advancements and renewable energy integration may reduce their reliance on natural gas. Additionally, geopolitical dynamics, especially relating to supply chains and energy policies, will be critical in shaping consumption trends across Europe.
