The European Calculated Inland Consumption of Anthracite in 2023 saw Ukraine as the largest consumer at 2.72 million metric tons, despite a 6.1% year-on-year decline. Germany and France followed, both experiencing significant reductions, with Germany declining by 16.26% and France by 7.46%. Bulgaria and Moldova were exceptions, with Bulgaria increasing by 1.32% and Moldova by 3.05%. Meanwhile, countries like Spain and Poland faced steep declines of over 13%. The 5-year CAGR indicated a gradual decline in consumption across most of Europe, aligning with broader environmental policies reducing reliance on coal.
Future trends to watch include accelerating shifts towards renewable energy, likely leading to further decreases in anthracite consumption across Europe. Attention should be given to how the energy policies of major consumers and emergent technologies impact these trends, as well as geopolitical influences potentially affecting coal supply and energy diversification strategies.
