In 2023, Germany led the European iron and steel sectors in coke oven gas consumption with a substantial figure. Ukraine followed with a slightly lower consumption rate. Negative trends marked most countries, with Poland and Italy experiencing significant setbacks at over 6% and 8% respectively, while Germany saw a positive uptick of 3.65%. The United Kingdom showed a mild increase, whereas Spain saw the steepest decline at over 10%. Other countries like Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Belgium had moderate decreases.
Looking forward, the European iron and steel sectors' consumption of coke oven gas is projected to face challenges, including regulatory pressures for sustainability and decarbonization. Attention should focus on energy efficiency improvements, potential shifts toward alternative energy sources, and the economic impact of geopolitical changes that might influence production capacities and supply chains in the region.
