In 2023, Poland was the leading producer of underground solid fossil fuels in Europe, contributing 57.52 million metric tons. Ukraine followed with a production of 17.23 million metric tons. Kosovo, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina witnessed moderate outputs, while countries like the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and others had minimal production figures. Year-on-year data highlighted production declines in most countries, with notable decreases in the Czech Republic and Serbia. Conversely, Kosovo and Albania showed slight recovery.
Future trends to watch include potential further declines due to shifting policies towards sustainable energy. However, geopolitical factors and energy security concerns may temporarily boost production in countries like Ukraine and Poland.
