In 2023, non-renewable municipal waste gross electricity production in France was estimated at 7.65 thousand terajoules. Forecasts from 2024 onwards indicate a slight but consistent decline to 7.62 thousand terajoules by 2028. The annual forecasted decline is negligible, averaging around 0.1-0.2% per year, reflecting a steady but gradual decrease over the five-year period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative yet marginal, underscoring a future where this energy source is slowly being diminished.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in waste-to-energy technologies, shifts in energy policy favoring renewable sources, and changes in municipal waste management strategies that may impact the reliance on non-renewable waste for energy production.
