Germany is the leading lignite energy supplier in Europe, contributing significantly to the total share. The Czech Republic and Poland also hold substantial shares, followed by Serbia and Bulgaria. In contrast, countries like Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, and France contribute minimally. Notably, Germany, Czech Republic, and Poland experienced slight declines in supply, whereas Greece and Hungary faced substantial decreases. Conversely, Kosovo and Bulgaria reported slight increases.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy shifts towards clean energy, technological advancements in energy efficiency, and economic factors influencing lignite demand across Europe. Environmental concerns could further accelerate the decline in lignite energy share.
