In 2023, Germany led the European fossil energy final consumption in the wood and wood products sector, followed by Poland and Italy, indicating strong industrial activity in these countries. Germany and Poland experienced declines, while Italy saw an increase. Notable increases were observed in Luxembourg, with significant growth, and Croatia, Sweden, and Macedonia showing resilience. Conversely, Greece, Cyprus, and Slovenia witnessed substantial contractions, highlighting regional disparities within Europe.
Future trends to watch include technological innovations geared towards energy efficiency and policy shifts toward renewable energy sources. This could result in a gradual decline in fossil energy consumption across the wood sector, with countries implementing ambitious sustainability goals leading the change. Monitoring how these developments play out in key countries like Germany and Poland will be crucial.
