In 2023, Germany led European gross electricity production from non-renewable municipal waste, followed by the United Kingdom and Italy. Germany and Italy saw slight declines, while the UK experienced significant growth. Eastern and Northern European countries, such as Poland and Slovakia, showcased substantial year-on-year increases in production, indicating a growing reliance on waste-to-energy conversion. Noteworthy growth was also seen in Lithuania and Finland. In contrast, Spain and Estonia registered minor decreases, hinting at possible transitions towards alternative energy solutions.
Future trends might include a regional shift towards enhanced waste sorting and increased investment in renewable energy infrastructure, potentially reducing reliance on non-renewable waste for electricity production. Monitoring these shifts will be crucial for understanding Europe's energy landscape evolution.
