In 2023, the final consumption of brown coal in France's industrial sector was recorded at 45.15 thousand metric tons. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in consumption, decreasing from 45.14 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 44.98 thousand metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year percentage drop is steady, indicating a minimal average annual reduction. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate reflects a slight decrease in brown coal consumption, suggesting ongoing efforts towards energy transition and efficiency improvements.
Future trends to watch include the potential acceleration of renewable energy adoption, stricter environmental regulations, and technological advancements in energy efficiency. These factors could further decrease brown coal consumption in industrial sectors.
