As of 2023, Norway dominates European Natural Gas Liquids gross inland consumption, representing the largest share with a consumption of 44.55 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom follow, showing substantial shares as well. While Norway, the Netherlands, and Finland have experienced declines in consumption, some countries like Austria and Serbia have witnessed significant growth. Belgium has faced the sharpest drop, reducing its share by over 40%. Despite small volumes, countries such as Romania and Montenegro have seen modest gains.
Looking ahead, it is crucial to monitor geopolitical changes, shifts in energy policies, and technological advancements, which may impact natural gas liquids consumption patterns across Europe. Transitioning to sustainable energy sources could lead to further consumption declines in certain countries, while ongoing industry dependencies might sustain or even slightly increase demand in others.
