The consumption of brown coal briquettes in Germany's paper, pulp, and printing sectors is forecasted to maintain a stable volume from 2024 to 2026, remaining at 1.54 thousand gigawatthours, with a slight decline to 1.53 thousand gigawatthours in 2027 and 2028. Compared to 2023, where consumption was also stable, the trend shows negligible variation, indicating a minimal year-on-year change over this period.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential impacts from Germany's energy transition policies aiming to reduce fossil fuel dependence.
Technological advancements in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors that might influence energy consumption patterns.
Market dynamics and economic factors affecting demand within these sectors.
