In 2023, Poland dominated the European Food, Beverages, and Tobacco sector's solid fossil fuel consumption, leading with the highest share among countries. France and Germany followed but with notable decreases in consumption. Overall, most countries showed a declining trend in solid fossil fuel usage, especially the United Kingdom and Sweden, which had significant reductions. Exceptions include Belgium and Finland, which showed slight increases.
Looking ahead, the sector is likely to continue its shift away from solid fossil fuels due to the increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental regulations. Countries with significant decreases may accelerate their transition to renewable energy, while those with increases might face regulatory pressures to adapt. Tracking these shifts will be crucial for future assessments.
