In 2023, Germany led the European transport equipment sector in final consumption of solid fossil fuels with a significant year-on-year increase of 11.74%, amounting to 9.19 thousand terajoules. The United Kingdom and Sweden saw decreases in consumption by 4.6% and 7.49%, respectively. Poland demonstrated a notable rise of 13.25%. Conversely, countries like Romania and Bulgaria experienced declines at 2.14% and 26.2%. Slovakia and Bosnia showed slight increases, while France and Ukraine had minimal to no change.
Looking forward, Europe may witness a continued shift towards cleaner alternatives. Germany's reliance on solid fossil fuels may plateau as environmental regulations tighten. The sector should focus on emerging technologies and decarbonization to meet European Union's climate goals.
