Based on the 2023 data, Ukraine leads in natural gas consumption for mining and quarrying, followed by Spain and Austria. Notably, impressive year-on-year growth is seen in Finland, Greece, and Latvia, with Greece experiencing an exceptional increase of 159.7%.
In contrast, significant reductions are observed in Austria, Germany, and Italy. Ireland and Portugal show impressive positive trends, indicating a growing reliance on natural gas within these sectors, while Belgium and the Netherlands slightly decline. Meanwhile, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Moldova remain stable with negligible changes.
Future trends to watch include increased consumption as countries advance mining technologies requiring more energy. Additionally, transitions to cleaner energy sources may shift demand from natural gas over time. Economic factors and regulatory policies will further shape these consumption patterns in Europe.
