The consumption of renewables and biofuels in the European textile and leather sectors shows considerable variance among countries. In 2023, Serbia led with the highest consumption, while Portugal and Spain also recorded significant use. However, notable growth compared to the previous year was seen in Germany and Ukraine due to increasing adoption in these markets. Moderate increases were observed in Romania, Slovenia, and France, whereas the Netherlands and Greece remained relatively stable. Conversely, Moldova experienced a marked decline.
For the future, watch for broader integration of renewable energy in traditionally fuel-dependent sectors. Investment in sustainable practices and technologies is anticipated to drive the EU's agenda forward, with special attention to innovative biofuel applications in textiles and leather production.
