In 2023, Germany led with the highest consumption of solid fossil fuels in the non-metallic minerals sector, followed by Ukraine and Poland. Notable year-on-year increases were seen in Greece and Romania, with more modest rises in Germany and Belgium. Significant declines were recorded in the United Kingdom, Serbia, and Finland. Over the past five years, Croatia saw substantial growth, while countries like the Netherlands and Finland experienced the largest contractions.
Future trends to watch include the shift toward sustainable energy sources, which may further reduce solid fossil fuel consumption across Europe. Countries with rising consumption might consider gradual transitions in the non-metallic minerals sector.
