In 2023, the non-metallic minerals sector in France consumed 3.9 Terajoules of renewable municipal waste. The forecast indicates an upward trend, with consumption expected to rise steadily from 4.08 Terajoules in 2024 to 4.62 Terajoules by 2028. The average annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be approximately 3.14%, illustrating consistent growth in renewable energy consumption within the sector. This points to an increasing reliance on renewable waste as a sustainable energy source in the production of non-metallic minerals.

Future trends to watch include:

Increased investment in waste-to-energy technologies as part of sustainable practices.
Policy shifts towards higher renewable energy adoption, affecting consumption patterns.
Potential impacts of technological advancements on efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
