In 2024, Sweden and Finland dominate Europe’s renewable and biofuel consumption in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors, each exceeding 28 terajoules. Notable year-on-year increases include the UK (5.42%), Czech Republic (6.62%), and Denmark (12.37%). Meanwhile, Bulgaria and Estonia saw significant declines. Over the past five years, Hungary, Latvia, Ukraine, and Romania are marked by achieving remarkable growth, reflecting a trend towards increasing renewable usage.
Future trends to watch include:
- Continued dominance by Nordic countries in this sector.
- Potential growth in countries that are currently underutilizing renewables, such as Italy and Romania.
- Fostering renewable technology in Eastern Europe to balance the decline seen in countries like Moldova and Estonia.
