Waste electricity production in Europe shows varied capacities across countries in 2024. Germany leads with 3.09 thousand MW, followed by the UK at 1.54 and France at 1.2. Over the last year, Germany saw a 0.37% increase, while the UK increased significantly by 6.2%. France and Austria experienced declines of -1.59% and -1.31% respectively. Sweden faced a major reduction by -9.21%, whereas Lithuania saw a dramatic rise of 26.97%. The compound annual growth rate over five years highlighted modest increases and some declines, reflecting a sector with mixed but generally positive growth trends.
Future trends to monitor include the potential for increased investments in waste-to-energy technologies, particularly in countries like Lithuania and Hungary, which could influence production capacities. Increased environmental regulations and renewable energy policies across Europe will drive both strategic expansions and innovations in waste electricity production.
