In 2023, Germany held the largest share of European Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) refinery output with 17.11 gigawatthours, followed by the United Kingdom at 11.82 gigawatthours. These were the two leading producers, while several smaller countries such as Ireland (0.24 gigawatthours) contributed minimally. Notable trends included Belgium’s significant 6.36% increase and Greece’s 0.83% increase from the prior year, while countries like Portugal and Ireland showed notable reductions of -11.45% and -5.49%, respectively. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) revealed smaller but steady increases in countries like Bulgaria (4.86%) and Lithuania (3.11%), highlighting modest growth in certain regions despite overall fluctuations.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in the output distribution across Europe due to geopolitical dynamics, energy policy developments, and technological advancements in refining processes. Emerging markets in Eastern Europe may see more substantial growth, while traditional leaders may experience stabilization or modest increases based on economic and environmental policies.
