In 2023, Germany led European non-renewable waste electricity production, followed by the UK and Italy, with Germany seeing a slight decline of 0.15%. The UK's production increased by 5.19%, supporting its second place in the rankings. Slovakia and Lithuania experienced significant growth, with year-on-year increases of 88.91% and 38.9%, respectively. Other countries, like France and Bulgaria, faced declines, while Poland saw an 8.95% increase. Over five years, these variations present a complex picture of gains and declines across Europe.
Future trends to watch include:
- Technological advancements in waste-to-energy conversion potentially boosting production.
- Policy shifts focusing on renewable energy that might limit growth in non-renewable waste-derived electricity.
- Economic and environmental factors influencing investment in waste management infrastructure.
- Emerging countries in the sector, like Slovakia and Lithuania, could continue their upward trajectory.
