In 2023, France emerged as the leader in biogas consumption for mining and quarrying in Europe, recording a 2.05% increase to reach 92.72 GWh. The Netherlands held a stable position with no year-on-year growth at 61.36 GWh. Finland and Germany experienced declines, with Germany having a significant reduction of 36.46%, ending at 2.16 GWh. Austria also saw a notable decrease of 41.79%, settling at 0.34 GWh. Over the past five years, the data suggests a general downward trend for most countries except France.
Future trends to watch include:
- The impact of technological advancements and investment on increasing biogas production efficiency.
- Policy changes in Europe that may boost biogas use in industrial applications.
- The potential for emerging markets within Europe to increase biogas consumption, particularly in mining operations as sustainability becomes a more pressing concern.
