Germany leads Europe in fossil energy consumption for the chemical and petrochemical sectors, despite a notable 3.03% decline from 2023. The Netherlands remains significant, though slightly decreasing by 0.9%. France and Belgium also show a downturn, while countries like Poland and Czech Republic experienced increases of 1.02% and 2.28% respectively. Notably, Iceland's consumption surged by 86.89%, albeit from a smaller base, while countries like Estonia and Greece saw marked declines. The varied trends suggest a shift in energy reliance, reflecting both economic dynamics and policy influence.
Going forward, Europe's fossil energy consumption in these sectors will likely be shaped by increasing environmental regulations and a shift towards renewable energy sources. Monitoring policy adaptations, energy pricing, and technological advancements in energy efficiency will be crucial to understanding future consumption patterns across Europe.
