In 2023, Poland led European consumption of solid fossil fuels in the commercial and public sectors, with significant usage levels. Notably, Croatia saw a substantial 88.32% increase, whereas countries like France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Netherlands experienced marked declines. Over the past five years, trends have shown diverse patterns, with some Eastern European countries like Slovakia and Macedonia exhibiting growth. In contrast, traditionally large consumers like Germany and France are on a decline, indicative of a broader shift toward cleaner energy sources.
Looking forward to 2024 and beyond, the transition towards sustainable energy will continue influencing the decline of solid fossil fuel consumption. Countries that have traditionally relied heavily on fossil fuels may increasingly shift towards renewable energy initiatives. Monitoring regulations, technological advancements in energy, and socio-political factors will be crucial in predicting future patterns in consumption across Europe.
