The United Kingdom leads in the final consumption of European Gas Oil and Diesel Oil (excluding biofuel portion) in rail transport, followed by Germany and Romania. In 2023, notable decreases in consumption were observed in Spain (-23.92%), Macedonia (-25.76%), and Greece (-18.06%), whereas countries like Albania and Serbia experienced modest growth. Over a five-year horizon, consumption trends reveal a notable decline in several countries, primarily due to shifts towards cleaner energy and increased efficiency in rail transport.
Future trends in European gas and diesel oil consumption in rail transport are expected to be influenced by the heightened adoption of alternative fuels, advancements in electric rail technology, and regulatory changes targeting emissions reductions, potentially leading to further declines in traditional oil consumption.
