In 2023, Germany led the European biogases final consumption in the chemical and petrochemical sectors, with a notable increase of 20.1%, reaching 34.49 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Austria and Norway also experienced healthy growth rates of 13.63% and 13.39%, respectively. France saw a significant rise of 45.84%, while Italy experienced a decline of 2.1% in biogas consumption. Sweden's usage surged by 142.56%, albeit from a low base, suggesting a rapid expansion effort. Conversely, Spain remained stagnant, and countries like Romania, Czech Republic, Estonia, and Poland faced declines. Over the last five years, the CAGR highlights moderate growth in these sectors.
Future trends to watch include increased investments in biogas infrastructure and policies encouraging renewable energy. Germany’s strategic investments in sustainable energy could propel further growth. The noticeable rise in France and Sweden indicates potential for breakthroughs in biogas technology and market uptake. Additionally, the performance in smaller markets could be pivotal, with slight adjustments leading to substantial impacts. Monitoring regulatory frameworks and carbon neutrality goals will be crucial for assessing long-term biogas consumption dynamics in the European chemical and petrochemical sectors.
