In 2023, Poland led European solid fossil fuels production with a significant share, followed by Germany and the Czech Republic. Despite Poland's leadership, production declined by 3.51%. Germany experienced an 8.91% decrease, continuing its downward trajectory. Ukraine and Greece reported notable reductions of 8.5% and 13.53% respectively. In contrast, Kosovo and Montenegro saw slight increases. Over the past five years, the region's production showed an average decline due to shifting energy policies and transitioning to renewable sources.
Looking ahead, European countries may further reduce solid fossil fuel production as they aim to meet EU decarbonization targets and adopt greener energy solutions.
