In 2023, the United Kingdom led fuel oil consumption in commercial and public services with 77.14 kt, despite a decline of 5.4%. Finland saw slight growth at 1.35% to 38.6 kt, while Serbia decreased by 7.79% to 25.47 kt. Significant decreases were noted in Portugal (-16.44%) and Spain (-18.53%), with Malta and Macedonia witnessing notable increases at 9.6% and 23.11%, respectively. Greece and Ireland experienced significant declines of 22.59% and 24.1%. Romania, although lower in volume, saw a dramatic rise of 90.97% to 0.26 kt, hinting at emerging trends or anomalies.
Future trends to watch include the growing shift towards renewable energy sources, potentially leading to further declines in fuel oil consumption. Countries like Romania with recent consumption spikes may adjust to regional energy policies, while countries with rising trends, such as Macedonia, could indicate regional variations in energy transitions or economic activities. The overall focus on sustainability and climate commitments may continuously reshape the landscape of fuel oil usage in European commercial and public sectors.
