In 2023, Germany led Europe in the final consumption of blast furnace gas, with a consumption of 52.15 thousand terajoules. Ukraine followed at 28.25, and Poland at 9.14. Other notable consumers included Slovakia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Czech Republic. Year-on-year trends from 2023 showed declines, particularly in Germany, Ukraine, and Belgium, while Austria and the Netherlands saw slight increases. Over five years, the compound annual growth rates suggest a need to monitor these variations closely.
Future trends to watch involve the evolving energy policies and industrial output levels across Europe. Countries might increase their focus on sustainability, possibly impacting blast furnace gas consumption patterns.
