In the European mining and quarrying sector, Sweden leads the final consumption of renewables and biofuels, despite Germany's substantial industrial activity. Notable growth countries include Finland and Denmark, while Spain and Austria have seen significant reductions in renewable consumption. Countries such as France and Germany experience a mixed trend with slight declines, signaling shifts in energy policy or consumption efficiency measures. Romania, Norway, and the Netherlands show steadier trends, indicating more stable consumption patterns or less dependency on renewables.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of EU green policies on the sector’s energy mix.
- The responsiveness of mining-intensive countries like Germany to renewable integration.
- The potential increase in biofuel utilization driven by sustainability goals.
