The European fishing sector's fossil energy consumption varies significantly by country in 2024. Spain leads with the highest consumption, followed by France and Norway. The United Kingdom and Iceland also demonstrate substantial usage. Countries like Germany, Latvia, and Sweden have reduced their energy consumption the most, while Poland shows the highest increase. Over the past five years, Italy and the Netherlands have shown consistent declines.
Future trends to monitor include the continued reduction in fossil energy use in Western European countries as they transition to greener alternatives. There is also potential for Eastern European countries to increase consumption as they develop their fishing industries and infrastructure.
