In 2023, Germany led European countries in fossil energy consumption in construction, with a significant increase of 8.86%. Italy, with an 11.01% rise, demonstrated one of the strongest growth patterns. Conversely, countries like Norway, Poland, and Greece saw decreases, highlighting varying adaptation rates within Europe. Notable reductions occurred in Ireland, Estonia, and Iceland, indicating possible shifts toward renewable energy or efficiency measures. Most positions exhibited modest year-on-year variations, reflecting sector stability, yet drastic regional differences persist.
Looking forward, key trends include further investment in sustainable practices and increased regulatory pressures across Europe, influencing a potential continued decline in fossil energy reliance, particularly in Western and Northern Europe.
