In 2023, Greece led the European Solid Fossil Fuels Final Consumption in Mining and Quarrying with the highest share, while countries like Austria and Romania displayed significant year-on-year growth percentages. On the contrary, Germany and Ukraine witnessed declines. Sweden and Poland showed modest increases, whereas the Netherlands faced a notable decrease, reflecting a shift towards alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch include increasing efficiencies in mining technology, which may reduce solid fossil fuel consumption, and the ongoing transition to renewable energy, possibly impacting countries still reliant on solid fossil fuels for their mining and quarry operations.
