The European mining and quarrying sector's final consumption of natural gas presents distinct trends across countries. Ukraine remains the highest consumer, with a slight decline over the last year. Spain shows moderate growth, while Austria and Germany have seen significant declines. Eastern European countries like the Czech Republic and Poland are experiencing increased consumption, aligning with regional industrial growth. Smaller countries, such as Greece and Lithuania, exhibit remarkable increases, reflecting local industrial activities' expansion.
Future trends to watch include the impact of energy policies promoting renewable sources on natural gas consumption, particularly in Western Europe. The transition to sustainable practices may reduce dependency on natural gas, altering demand patterns across the sector.
