Trade balance of clean energy technologies in Europe in 2021, by product
Trade balance is the volume of net exports divided by production in each region for the net exporters (positive) or imports divided by consumption in each region for the net importers (negative).
Figures are based on physical units, not monetary trade flows. Due to data availability, monetary flows are used for heat pumps and wind turbines.
