The European non-ferrous metals sector has shown varied trends in the consumption of solid fossil fuels across countries. In 2023, Ukraine led with the highest share, followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland. Notably, Serbia experienced a significant increase, while the United Kingdom saw a steep decline. Over the past five years, fluctuations have been evident, with some countries like Latvia showing remarkable growth, whereas others such as Italy and Slovenia have decreased in consumption.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential reduction in fossil fuel consumption due to the EU's commitment to greener energy transformations.
- Technological advancements in production processes could lead to efficiency gains and reduced dependency on solid fossil fuels.
- Policy shifts and economic factors may cause further regional disparities in fuel consumption, impacting smaller countries significantly.
