In 2023, Sweden led European primary solid biofuels final consumption in industry, followed by Finland and Germany. Notable growth was seen in Hungary, Norway, and the Czech Republic, while sharp declines occurred in Greece, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Germany, the UK, and Italy also experienced significant growth. The average variation per year over the last five years highlights Hungary, Ukraine, and Cyprus as key areas of growth, while Moldova and Iceland faced declines.
Future trends to watch for include potential growth driven by increased investments in renewable energy technology, policies supporting sustainable energy sources, and the impact of geopolitical changes on energy consumption patterns in Europe. Additionally, Eastern and Central European countries may play a more significant role in biofuel consumption. Continued focus on decarbonization strategies across industries will likely drive overall increases in biofuel consumption.
