**Future Trends to Watch For:**
- The transition towards cleaner energy sources is expected to continue impacting solid fossil fuel consumption, pushing a decline in countries focused on sustainability.
- Countries with recent growth, like Bulgaria and Austria, may stabilize as they integrate more renewable options into their energy mix.
- Geopolitical events and regulatory changes will play a crucial role in consumption trends, especially for countries like Ukraine and Serbia.
