In 2023, Poland led the European Gross Heat Production of Solid Fossil Fuels, contributing approximately 43% of the total production, though it faced a slight decline of 1.16% from the previous year. Germany and the Czech Republic followed, accounting for 20.31% and 11.21% respectively, both showing declines of 4.8% and 2.14%. Notably, Romania showed a significant decrease of 14.14%, while Norway saw a positive growth of 5.49%. Smaller contributors such as Latvia experienced the highest decline of 41.54%. Over the last five years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a general decrease in the reliance on solid fossil fuels.
Future trends to watch include:
- The push for renewable energy sources which might further decrease solid fossil fuel production in Europe.
- Technological advancements in heat production efficiency that could shift the current share distribution.
- Potential policy changes driven by environmental goals could reshape the energy landscape significantly.
