The European mining and quarrying sector's consumption of solid fossil fuels varies significantly across countries. In 2023, Greece led with substantial consumption levels, followed by Sweden, Germany, and Ukraine. Minor contributors included Lithuania, Romania, and Austria, reflecting diverse energy dependencies.
This sector demonstrated interesting year-on-year variations. Greece and Germany saw modest declines in consumption, whereas Denmark and Bulgaria showed notable increases. Austria and Serbia also registered significant growth, while Ukraine, notable for its high consumption, faced a marked decrease.
Future trends to watch involve regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions, which might decrease fossil fuel usage, plus technological advancements in alternative energy sources. Europe's focus on sustainable practices could further shift energy dependencies.
