In 2024, Germany's forecasted tar sands and oil shale domestic material consumption stands at 0.005 metric tons per capita, increasing to 0.006 metric tons per capita by 2025. This level remains constant through 2028. Compared to 2023, when the series is expressed in volume or value, the consumption remains stable after a slight initial increase. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a low growth trajectory over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes impacting oil source reliance, potential shifts towards renewable energy, and technological advances in cleaner extraction that could impact domestic material consumption and related environmental policies.
