In 2023, Norway led European charcoal consumption in the industry with 23.94 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, experiencing a 1.4% growth. Italy followed with a consumption of 7.53, marking a modest 0.46% increase. Serbia showed a sharp rise at 9.88%, while both Portugal and Austria saw decreases of 3.58% and 67.21%, respectively. Iceland reported the steepest decline at 70.7%, reflecting significant contraction in its industrial charcoal use.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts towards sustainable energy, which might impact overall consumption levels. Norway might continue to lead, given current consumption patterns, but sustainable energy policies across Europe could shift this landscape dramatically.
