In 2023, the Netherlands led European biogas consumption in the food, beverages, and tobacco sectors with 11.93 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, followed closely by Belgium (11.23) and Sweden (10.24). Sweden showed the most significant year-on-year growth at 49.23%, while countries like France and Finland experienced a slight decline. German consumption remained relatively stable with minimal change. Poland, Denmark, and Greece also showed notable increases, indicating strong market growth in these countries. In contrast, Italy and Austria saw a reduction in biogas consumption.
Future trends to watch for include potential continued growth in Sweden and Greece, the stabilization of biogas consumption in traditionally stronger markets like the Netherlands and Germany, and emerging increases in countries with recent upward trends, such as Poland and Denmark. Monitoring the regulation changes, technological advancements, and market incentives will be crucial for predicting further shifts in biogas consumption throughout Europe.
