In 2023, Poland had the highest household consumption of solid fossil fuels in Europe, followed by the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. Noticeable declines in consumption were observed in Germany, Belgium, and France, exceeding 10%. Slovakia and Romania showed growth in consumption, with variations of 15.36% and 7.35%, respectively. Other countries like Latvia and France experienced significant reductions of more than 20% and 60%, respectively.
Future trends to watch include a gradual transition towards renewable energy sources across Europe, further declining solid fossil fuel consumption. Poland's reduction might slow as renewable adoption progresses, whereas countries like Slovakia could stabilize their consumption or shift towards alternative energy sources. Continued policy interventions and technological advancements are expected to drive down fossil fuel use, enhancing environmental sustainability across the region.
