In 2023, Germany led in natural gas consumption within the European non-ferrous metal sector, though it experienced a slight decline. Spain and Greece saw significant increases, while France and Poland faced reductions. Ireland and the UK maintained modest growth. Smaller consumers like Portugal and Bulgaria also reported upticks. Exceptionally, Bosnia saw a significant reduction, and Lithuania marked the steepest decline. From a five-year perspective, the average growth varied, reflecting the region's diverse industrial landscape.
Future trends to watch include Germany's potential stabilization or further decline, recovery or continuation of reductions in Bosnia and Lithuania, and the effects of possible green energy policies influencing consumption in key countries such as France, the UK, and Poland. Observing how these shifts in consumption align with broader sustainability goals will be crucial.
