In 2023, the data illustrates a diverse landscape of solid fossil fuel consumption across European countries in the mining and quarrying sector. Greece leads with a consumption of 137.23 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, a decrease of 2.17% from the previous year. Sweden follows with 85.34, showing a modest increase of 0.93%. Germany, the third largest consumer, experienced a decline of 3.8%. Notably, significant reductions were observed in Ukraine and the Netherlands, with 12.19% and 15.01% decreases, respectively. Meanwhile, Denmark and Serbia reported increases of 12.46% and 10.18%. A remarkable 87.79% increase occurred in Bulgaria.
Future trends suggest continued variation between countries with a potential pivot from solid fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources influenced by both EU policies and global climate change initiatives. The ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic conditions could further impact consumption patterns and energy resource strategies across the region. Monitoring these developments will be crucial for understanding the sector's transformation.
