The 2023 data on solid fossil fuels consumption in the European construction sector shows that Poland is a dominant consumer, with 67.47 terajoules, followed by Hungary and Luxembourg. Noteworthy trends include Poland's slight increase of 1.26%, contrasting with Hungary's 0.17% decrease and the Czech Republic's significant decline of 8.15%. Declines were more pronounced in countries like the Netherlands and Serbia, with reductions of 14.5% and 9.48% respectively. Kosovo’s consumption rose sharply by 14.61%, while Ukraine saw a dramatic drop of 44.68%.
Future trends may focus on the shift towards renewable energy resources, heightened regulations on fossil fuel consumption, and technological advancements in construction that could further decouple the sector from fossil fuel dependency. Monitoring these developments will be crucial for assessing how solid fossil fuel consumption will transform across Europe.
