In 2023, Finland led European countries in bioenergy consumption for domestic navigation with a significant year-on-year increase of 37.91%. Sweden and Cyprus showed stable consumptions with no growth, while Norway saw a 10.97% rise. Notable increases also occurred in the Netherlands and Greece, at 31.68% and 9.8% respectively. Conversely, Spain and Portugal recorded declines of -6.93% and -5.81%. France experienced moderate growth of 5.48%, while Luxembourg and Malta had slight increases at 1.03% and 5.47%. Iceland nearly negligible usage remained unchanged from previous years.
Future trends to monitor include the potential expansion of bioenergy infrastructure in European countries with larger maritime industries. This could potentially influence policy changes and increased investments towards renewable energies in the navigation sector, particularly in countries like Spain and Portugal aiming to reverse their declining trends.
