The forecast for the gross inland consumption of brown coal briquettes in France from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline. In 2023, the actual consumption stood at 241.35 Gigawatthours. Each subsequent year sees a minimal decrease in consumption by approximately 0.03% annually, reflecting a consistent trend towards lower usage of this energy source. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a continued, albeit slow, downward trajectory.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential increase in renewable energy adoption rates which might accelerate the decline in brown coal consumption.
Economic or policy shifts that could influence energy strategies and alter current forecasts.
Technological advancements in energy storage or alternative fuels impacting coal briquette demand.
