In 2023, Germany and Ukraine led the European inland consumption of coke oven coke, with Germany slightly ahead despite a year-on-year decrease of 3.6%. Austria stood out with a positive variation of 1.26%, while Eastern European countries like Poland and Hungary experienced the steepest declines at 10.11% and 11.43% respectively. The United Kingdom and Italy also saw significant reductions in consumption with declines of 6.54% and 7.79%.
Looking forward, the trend suggests a potential shift towards more sustainable energy sources, which could result in a gradual decline in coke oven coke consumption in Europe. Economic and regulatory changes focusing on reducing carbon emissions might further pressure the industry. Monitoring Eastern Europe's trajectory, where aggressive declines have been noted, and any policy changes in Germany, as the leading consumer, will be crucial for future analysis. Expansion in cleaner technologies and treatments is also a trend to watch, impacting traditional coke usage.
