In 2023, Finland led the European domestic navigation sector in renewable and biofuel consumption, showing a substantial increase of 37.91% from the previous year. Sweden's consumption remained steady with no change, while Norway and the Netherlands experienced significant growth of 10.97% and 31.68%, respectively. France saw a modest rise of 5.48%. In contrast, Portugal, Spain, and Iceland showed declining trends, with decreases of 5.81%, 6.93%, and no change, respectively. Greece increased by 9.8% while Cyprus and Malta had minimal growth.

Conversely, Southern European and smaller nations may prioritize efforts to improve their renewable contributions, as they currently show limited growth or decline. Attention should also be given to policy changes or technological advancements that may impact consumption patterns across the region.
