In 2023, Germany, Ukraine, and Poland dominate Europe's solid fossil fuel consumption in the industry, accounting for more than half of the region's usage. Notable declines were observed in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain, with reductions in their industrial consumption shares. At the same time, countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Norway saw growth in consumption. Croatia and Kosovo experienced significant increases, suggesting a shift in industrial energy preferences or demand dynamics. Meanwhile, the general negative trend in Greece and Serbia indicates transitioning energy sources or economic challenges impacting these countries' industrial sectors.
Future trends to monitor include the effects of energy transition policies on solid fossil fuel consumption, competition with renewable energy sources, and the industrial adaptation to cleaner energy demands. The evolving regulatory landscape across Europe may further influence the demand, especially in countries emphasizing sustainability and carbon neutrality initiatives.
