The Czech Republic leads European gross heat production from lignite, reaching 43.33 thousand terajoules in 2023, followed by Germany at 11.29. Notably, Germany had the steepest decline at -14.84% year-on-year, highlighting a continuing downward trend amidst green energy transitions. Other countries like Romania and Slovenia experienced significant drops, at -7.51% and -7.22% respectively. In contrast, Poland and Greece demonstrated minor positive growth. The five-year CAGR indicates decreasing reliance on lignite in most countries, reflecting broader energy transition objectives.
Future trends to watch include increased adoption of renewable energy sources and governmental policies aiming to reduce carbon emissions, likely resulting in continued declines across this sector, especially in countries like Germany and Romania.
