Changes in Energy Consumption in Agriculture in the EU Countries

The paper’s main purpose was to identify and present the current situation changes in energy consumption agriculture European Union (EU) countries. specific objectives were determination of degree concentration EU countries, showing directions their changes, types used, this respect, establishing correlation between economic agricultural All member states deliberately selected for research on 31 December 2018 (28 countries). period covered years 2005–2018. sources materials literature subject, data from Eurostat. Descriptive, tabular, graphical methods used analyze materials, dynamics indicators with a stable base, Gini coefficient, analysis using Lorenz curve, coefficient variation, Kendall’s tau Spearman’s rank coefficient. A high found several largest countries sector, i.e., France Poland. There practically no level. Only case renewable energy, gradual decrease visible. More more developed technologies that allow use type energy. However, differed terms structure used. majority basis liquid fuels, while gaseous fuels abandoned favor electricity sources—according which, hypothesis confirmed: diversification agriculture, systematic increase importance sources. second also confirmed, according which is closely related economy’s parameters. necessary results concern natural environment. Therefore, factors may have smaller impact.
