In 2023, the renewable municipal waste final consumption in Germany's chemical and petrochemical sectors stood at a baseline level. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady increase, with consumption rising from 1.33 to 1.5 thousand terajoules. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth trajectory, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years suggesting sustained sectoral adoption of renewable resources.

Future trends to watch for:

Innovations in waste-to-energy technologies driving efficiency and increasing adoption.
Policy shifts toward more stringent renewable energy mandates could accelerate growth.
Strategic investments in infrastructure and capabilities to handle increased waste processing.
