In 2023, Ukraine dominated the European commercial and public services consumption of brown coal with a substantial share. It was followed by Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite their declining trends. Notably, Croatia and Lithuania experienced significant year-on-year increases, while notable decreases were observed in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Czech Republic. The economic shifts and energy policies have considerably influenced these patterns.
Future trends to watch include the potential shift towards cleaner energy, regulatory impacts, and the adoption of sustainable practices which might further reduce brown coal consumption across European countries. The market will also monitor economic recovery and technological advancements that could redefine energy consumption.
