In 2023, Ukraine led in fossil energy consumption in mining and quarrying in Europe, with Poland and Spain following. Notably, Bulgaria and Ireland showed significant year-on-year increases of approximately 9.9% and 12.43%, respectively. Conversely, Austria and Germany experienced substantial reductions, with declines of around 7.23% and 2.31%. Denmark and Malta exhibited notable growth with 11.76% and 42.36% increases. On a broader timeline, moderate fluctuations are observed with varying impacts per country.
Looking forward, expect shifts towards sustainable energy sources to impact fossil energy consumption. Watch geopolitical factors, such as Ukraine's energy policy and EU regulations, which might significantly alter the sector's landscape.
