In 2023, Poland emerged as a dominant consumer of primary solid biofuels in agriculture and forestry, followed by the Netherlands and Austria. Over the last two years, significant year-on-year increases were noted in Latvia, Romania, and the Netherlands, reflecting robust growth in biofuel adoption. Conversely, Belgium experienced a notable decline, while Finland and Ukraine showed minor contractions.
Looking ahead, the European solid biofuel sector is expected to continue expanding, driven by legislative support for sustainable energy, advancements in biofuel technology, and increased agricultural and forestry demand. Monitoring shifts in policy, technological developments, and cross-border energy agreements will be crucial for stakeholders.
