The bioenergy consumption in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors across Europe in 2023 saw Finland and Sweden leading by a significant margin, confirming their strong industrial reliance on bioenergy. Germany and Portugal followed, while Eastern European countries such as Bulgaria and Moldova experienced declines. Notably, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, and Denmark showed substantial growth, reflecting increased bioenergy adoption. However, sectors in countries like Ireland and Cyprus faced reductions, indicating varying regional dynamics.
Looking forward, trends suggest a continued increase in bioenergy consumption in more developed economies, driven by sustainability agendas and technological advancements. Eastern Europe may experience a boost with potential policy enhancements and investment in renewable infrastructure.
