In 2023, Ukraine led European solid fossil fuel consumption in the non-ferrous metal sector with 100.06 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, although experiencing a slight 0.33% decline from the previous year. Bosnia and Herzegovina recorded notable growth at 2.77%. Germany, Sweden, and Poland followed, with Germany and Poland showing increases of 1.82% and 8.05%, respectively, while Italy saw a decrease at 2.62%. The UK experienced a significant reduction of 17.83%. Serbia marked an extraordinary surge of 276.72%, positioned for future significance. Other countries showed varied trends, with notable consumption drops in Slovakia at 11.63% and stable figures in smaller markets like Slovenia and Austria.
Future trends indicate a shifting landscape influenced by environmental policies, decarbonization efforts, and technological advancements. Countries with current high coal consumption may face increased regulatory pressures, potentially altering demand. Innovations in energy efficiency and alternative fuels could further change consumption patterns, shifting reliance away from solid fossil fuels in the non-ferrous metal sector.
