In 2023, Ukraine led anthracite consumption in Europe with 39.14 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, marking a 7.2% YoY increase, followed by Germany and France. The Czech Republic saw the highest increase at 18.04%, while Austria recorded the largest decline at 14.06%. Notable declines were observed in Poland and Belgium. Consumption distribution indicates that Eastern European countries are more reliant on anthracite as an industrial energy source compared to their Western counterparts.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts driven by energy transition initiatives in Europe, which could reduce anthracite dependency, prompting a greater focus on renewable energy sources and cleaner alternatives.
