This report provides a comprehensive analysis of Belgium's energy efficiency trends and policy landscape leading into 2026. Data from the ODYSSEE-MURE project reveals a significant 10% decline in total energy consumption since 2010, driven largely by advancements in the industrial and residential sectors. While the transportation sector has seen an increased share of usage, overall technical efficiency has improved through technological innovation and shifts toward renewable energy sources. The document also details how geopolitical events and the COVID-19 pandemic influenced consumption patterns and prompted behavioral changes. Furthermore, it outlines the federal and regional policies, such as green certificates and renovation subsidies, designed to meet European Union energy targets by 2030. Technical charts specifically highlight how climate variations and improved building standards have successfully offset the pressures of population growth and increased economic activity.
