In 2023, Poland led solid fossil fuel heat production in Europe, comprising a significant share, followed by Germany and the Czech Republic. The largest year-on-year decline was observed in Hungary (-18.36%), while Norway experienced a positive growth of 5.67%. Across five years, there has been a general downward trend, with significant decreases in major producers like Germany and Poland. Finland and Serbia showed modest growth, reflecting their efforts to stabilize production share.
Future trends to watch include a potential shift towards renewable energy sources, as countries aim to reduce their carbon footprint. Continued investment in energy technology and policies encouraging sustainable practices might further reduce dependence on solid fossil fuels across Europe.
