In 2023, Germany led Europe in the consumption of solid fossil fuels in industry, closely followed by Ukraine and Poland. Significant declines were noted in the United Kingdom and France, while smaller countries like Serbia and Greece faced double-digit decreases. Conversely, Romania, Norway, and Croatia exhibited growth. Kosovo marked the highest consumption increase. Over a longer period, minor fluctuations have been observed, with industry consumption patterns showing resilience and occasional dips, influenced by energy transitions.
Future trends to watch include decarbonization efforts that might impact consumption patterns. As European countries push for sustainability, the reliance on solid fossil fuels in industries is expected to continue its gradual decline, influenced by regulatory changes and technological advancements.
