In 2023, Germany led in European primary solid biofuels consumption with a share of 13.07 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, followed by France and Poland at 9.83 and 9.17, respectively. Notable year-on-year growth was observed in Slovakia (18.22%) and Serbia (10.78%), while Portugal decreased slightly by 0.1%. The UK and Ukraine showed increases of 3.76% and 3.54%, respectively. The compound annual growth rate over the past five years highlights continued growth potential in countries like Slovakia, while smaller markets like Luxembourg and Iceland faced declines.
Future trends to watch include policy shifts towards renewable energy, technological advancements in biofuel processing, and market liberalization, which could affect consumption patterns across Europe. Investments in biofuel infrastructure and government incentives to boost sustainable energy consumption will likely drive increased shares for biofuel consumption in traditionally lower-tier countries.
