Conversely, Serbia, Austria, Hungary, and Belgium experienced notable declines. Ireland also showed a slight decrease, while the Netherlands reported a modest rise.
Future trends to watch:
-The overall decreasing demand in major markets like Germany could signal a shift towards cleaner energy alternatives.
-Countries like Slovakia and the Czech Republic may continue to rely on brown coal due to local economic and availability factors.
-Regulatory changes and environmental policies across Europe will play a crucial role in shaping future consumption patterns.
