The analysis of solid fossil fuel consumption in the European non-ferrous metals sector reveals significant disparities across countries. In 2023, Ukraine led with the highest consumption at 1.17 thousand GWh, despite a slight decline. Serbia exhibited remarkable growth of over 280% year-on-year, indicating a rapid scale-up, while traditional players like Germany and Italy showed declines. Poland's usage surged by over 10%, suggesting increased industrial activity. Conversely, the UK and Slovakia experienced double-digit reductions, reflecting transition efforts or economic constraints.
Key future trends to watch include the potential shift towards sustainable alternatives, impacting fossil fuel dependency, and regulatory influences that may drive down consumption or foster cleaner technology adoption in the sector.
