In 2023, Poland led the European market in solid fossil fuels consumption in the chemical and petrochemical sectors, closely followed by France and Norway. Notably, Norway and Belgium experienced increases of 5.59% and 5.42% respectively, while Ukraine's usage surged by 30.8%. Conversely, countries such as the United Kingdom and Austria saw significant declines in consumption by 25.03% and 21.17% respectively.
Future trends to watch:
- Potential shifts toward sustainable and renewable energy sources could further reduce fossil fuel consumption across Europe in the chemical and petrochemical sectors.
- Increasing regulation and carbon pricing may accelerate this transition, especially in Western European countries.
- Emerging technologies and innovations in energy efficiency might lead to reduced reliance on solid fossil fuels.
