In 2023, Finland and Sweden were the leading European countries in bioenergy consumption within the paper, pulp, and printing sectors, driven by their significant forest resources. Germany showed a slight decline, while Portugal and Austria also faced minimal reductions. Notable increases were observed in Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic, suggesting a shift towards sustainable energy use. Eastern European countries like Hungary and Romania experienced significant year-on-year growth, whereas Bulgaria and Slovenia saw reductions, indicating different stages of adopting bioenergy solutions.
Future trends to watch include the adoption of bioenergy technologies in Eastern Europe, with countries like Slovakia and Romania exhibiting potential growth. Additionally, there is a notable move towards increased bioenergy consumption in regions previously less active in this sector, such as Denmark and the Netherlands. Overall, the push for sustainability across Europe will likely result in a continued focus on increasing bioenergy consumption in the paper, pulp, and printing industries.
