As of 2023, Germany leads Europe in fossil energy refinery output at 14.48 GWh, marking a decrease of 1.17% from the previous year. Italy and the Netherlands showed slight increases of 0.11% and 0.56%, respectively. In contrast, significant declines were noted in the United Kingdom and France, with reductions of 1.77% and 3.31%, respectively. Notably, drops of over 4% were recorded in Portugal and Finland. Meanwhile, Albania underscores an outlier with a 3.57% increase, albeit from a smaller base. Overall, the sector reveals moderate contraction with variations fluctuating around zero for most countries.
Future trends to watch:
- An increased focus on sustainability could influence fossil fuel dependency, affecting refinery outputs.
- Technological advances may result in efficiency gains or reductions in refinery outputs.
- Geopolitical tensions and policy changes around emissions and energy sourcing will likely impact output distribution.
