The UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Russia are major economies in Europe. Surging energy requirement is expected to fuel the market growth. Electricity is at the heart of modern economies, and it accounts for an increasing proportion of energy services. As a result of increased family incomes, electrification of transportation and heat, and a rise in demand for digital linked gadgets and air conditioning, the energy demand is expected to rise even more. Based on the current stated policies Scenario, the electricity consumption will grow at a rate of 2.1% per year until 2040, more than double the rate of primary energy demand. As a result, electricity's share of total final energy consumption will increase from 19% in 2018 to 24% in 2040. In emerging nations, the increase in energy consumption is projected to be particularly large. Government policies, market conditions, and available technology all work together in the Stated Policies Scenario to shift energy supply toward low-carbon sources, with their share growing from 36% (current share) to 52% in 2040. Furthermore, the rising electricity demand was one of the main reasons why CO2 emissions from the power sector reached a new high in 2018. However, the commercial availability of a diverse range of low-emission generation technologies places electricity at the forefront of efforts to combat climate change and pollution, which is increasing the demand for alternate solutions, thereby resulting in PTF market expansion across Europe region.

This hindered the market players annual sale, thereby, impacted the plastic to fuel market negatively.  Due to the disruption in businesses of market players caused from supply of plastic waste, the market players in Europe have adopted numerous strategies. For instance, in 2020, Viridor and PLASTIC ENERGY have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a new project which would convert up to 30,000 tonnes of unrecycled plastic to recycled oils every year. Similarly, UK’s first plastic to hydrogen plant nears construction, as the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase has completed. Likewise, Clariant and VUCHT, a part of Duslo, Slovakia, are transforming plastic to diesel.
