In 2023, Spain dominated the European natural gas consumption in the fishing sector, dwarfing other countries with a consumption of 99.35 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Notable year-on-year variations included significant increases in Norway (117.79%) and the Czech Republic (18.93%), while consumption in Ukraine decreased by 3.4%. Growth is mostly subdued across other nations, with slight increases observed in Hungary, Latvia, Romania, and Portugal.
Future trends to watch include potential policy changes in Norway and the Czech Republic, which could further amplify consumption rates. The transition to renewable energy sources may impact these figures, especially in environmentally-conscious nations. Monitoring technological advancements in the fishing sector and their impact on energy usage remains crucial.
