In 2023, Ukraine led European countries in anthracite consumption, despite a 9% decrease from the previous year. Germany and France followed, both experiencing declines exceeding 4%. Italy and the Czech Republic were exceptions, showing significant growth at 13.06% and 14.64%, respectively. Smaller consumers like Macedonia and Albania saw notable increases, while countries like Austria and Germany saw significant declines by over 10%. Overall, Poland, Romania, and Ireland showed slight gains, offset by steady or negligible declines in most other nations.
Future trends suggest a shift towards alternative energy sources and further declines in anthracite consumption, driven by increasing environmental regulations and energy efficiency measures. Watch for potential policy changes impacting coal usage and investment in renewable energy infrastructure shaping future consumption patterns.
