The European bioenergy final consumption in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors is significantly dominated by Finland and Sweden, accounting for the largest shares. Germany, Portugal, and Austria form the next tier in consumption levels. Over the past year, notable growth was observed in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with these countries experiencing double-digit growth rates. Conversely, Bulgaria, Ireland, and Moldova experienced declines. On a longer-term basis, Romania, Latvia, and Luxembourg show impressive compound annual growth rates.
Future trends indicate a potential rise in bioenergy consumption in countries with significant forest reserves and strong environmental policies. The ongoing shift towards decarbonization and sustainable practices within the European Union will likely propel increases in bioenergy use in this sector. Additionally, emerging technologies and national investments in renewable energy infrastructures may drive growth, particularly in Eastern Europe.
