In 2023, the bioenergy final consumption in Germany's iron and steel sectors was not explicitly provided but serves as a crucial baseline for understanding the subsequent forecasted growth. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase from 8.51 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 9.22 thousand terajoules by 2028. This trajectory suggests a gradual but consistent rise in bioenergy usage within the sectors.

Year-on-year percentage variations highlight this upward trend with consistent increases, reflecting a positive outlook. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further indicates that on average, the bioenergy consumption is expected to grow steadily each year.

Future trends to watch for:

Expansion in renewable energy policies could accelerate the adoption of bioenergy.
Technological advancements might improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.
Environmental regulations could further drive shifts towards sustainable energy sources.
