In 2023, Poland held the highest domestic extraction share of used crop residues in Europe, closely followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. Among the year-on-year changes, Romania and Lithuania experienced significant growth, with increases of 9.05% and 8.55% respectively. Remarkably, Norway showed the most substantial growth at 14.43%, albeit from a much smaller base. Conversely, Germany and Spain saw decreases in their share, with -1.55% and -1.72% respectively. Over the past five years, the landscape has exhibited moderate shifts in extraction shares across Europe, reflecting varying national agricultural policies and residue utilization strategies.
Future trends to watch include:
- The potential for continued growth in Romania and Lithuania as they enhance their agricultural residue recovery processes.
- Germany and Spain may seek to reverse recent declines through innovative residue management approaches.
- Increasing focus on sustainable agricultural practices could bolster residue extraction efforts across Europe.
- Economic factors and policy changes within the European Union could significantly impact the distribution and volume of crop residue extraction.
