As of 2023, the United Kingdom leads in gross electricity production from non-renewable industrial waste in Europe, followed closely by Germany and Belgium. The most significant increases from 2022 were in Lithuania, Slovakia, and Germany, indicating a growing reliance or efficiency in energy conversion from industrial waste. However, Italy, Poland, and Estonia saw declines, potentially reflecting shifts towards more sustainable energy sources or reduced industrial waste.
Future trends to watch include the transition to a circular economy, which may reduce available waste for energy production, advancements in waste-to-energy technology that could heighten efficiency, and policy changes promoting renewable energy sources potentially impacting the production from non-renewable waste.
