In 2023, Germany leads in fossil energy consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector in Europe, followed by Italy and Spain. Germany's consumption slightly declined compared to the previous year, along with notable decreases in the UK and France. Conversely, Ukraine and Romania experienced significant increases, with Kosovo and Montenegro displaying the highest growth in percentage terms among smaller economies. On the contrary, the Netherlands and Finland saw considerable declines.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts towards renewable energy, which may impact the fossil energy consumption landscape across Europe. Economic and regulatory changes could influence energy strategies, particularly in larger consuming countries like Germany, Italy, and Spain.
