The 2023 data indicates Germany and Ukraine as the highest consumers of solid fossil fuels in industry, both at 2.89 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Poland follows closely with a value of 2.65, while countries like the UK and France show much lower consumption levels. Year-on-year changes reflect reductions in countries like the UK, France, and Greece, but growth in Romania and some smaller markets like Croatia and Kosovo, which witnessed double-digit percentage increases. The five-year CAGR echoes a general downward trend across key countries.
Looking ahead, the European industry may reduce its reliance on solid fossil fuels due to regulatory pressures and increased investment in renewable energy sources. This transition may affect countries differently, with more significant reductions anticipated in Western Europe, while Eastern European countries might experience a slower transition due to differing industrial structures and energy policies.
