In 2023, Sweden led the European primary solid biofuels consumption in mining and quarrying with a stable year-on-year performance, showing no variation. Denmark and Finland registered significant growth, with increases of 13.65% and 24.71%, respectively. Germany and France, on the other hand, experienced notable declines, down by 12.51% and 12.03%. Romania and Serbia also recorded decreases, while improvements were seen in Lithuania and Hungary, climbing by 12.3% and 14.87%.

Future trends to watch might include a continued shift towards biofuels in Northern European countries, potentially influenced by enhanced green policies. Germany and France may focus on revitalizing their biofuels sectors amidst declining consumption. Emerging technologies in solid biofuels and innovative applications could further promote adoption in mining and quarrying across Europe, with fluctuations expected in countries experiencing political or economic changes.
