In 2023, Spain led the European fishing sector's natural gas consumption with a stable value of 105.92 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, indicating no year-on-year change. The Czech Republic saw a significant increase of 18.93%, while Norway experienced remarkable growth at 117.79%. Emerging trends were evident in Hungary and Romania, each showing positive growth of 8.9% and 16.89% respectively.

Future trends to watch include the potential for further growth in Norway's consumption, coupled with an increase in countries recovering from declines such as Ukraine. Policymakers should monitor these shifts to adapt strategies for sustainable development and energy efficiency in the fishing sector.
