The data for 2023 indicates that Germany leads in fossil energy consumption in the wood and wood products sector within Europe, followed closely by Poland and Italy. In comparison to 2022, Germany and Poland saw slight reductions in consumption, whereas Italy experienced an increase. Robust increases were also seen in Belgium, Croatia, and Sweden, suggesting potential growth areas. Countries like Greece and Slovenia reported significant declines, indicating possible shifts away from fossil energy usage.
Looking ahead, a continued shift towards more sustainable energy sources is expected to drive changes in fossil energy consumption across the wood and wood products sector in Europe. Watch for advances in energy-efficient technologies and policies promoting greener alternatives as drivers of change. Countries with declining trends may be moving towards such alternatives, while those with increasing trends might look to implement energy efficiency improvements.
