In 2023, Germany dominated the European market for brown coal briquettes, with a consumption value of 1.66 million tonnes of oil equivalent, followed by Belgium with 0.154. Despite some growth in countries like France, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, the overall European market exhibited minimal expansion due to declines in nations such as Belgium and Serbia. From a five-year perspective, the market showed a mixed performance, with Germany maintaining a strong foothold and others experiencing moderate consumption.
Future trends to watch:
- Continued dominance of Germany in brown coal briquettes consumption.
- Potential for growth in environmentally-friendly energy alternatives, impacting brown coal consumption.
- Policy shifts towards sustainability across Europe which may further reduce industrial usage of brown coal briquettes.
