The mining and quarrying sector's final consumption of natural gas in Germany shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. This decline is reflected in a year-on-year reduction, starting with 2024's consumption of 872.22 Gigawatthours down to 665.43 Gigawatthours by 2028. The average annual decline, represented by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), indicates a significant decrease over these five years. In 2023, consumption was at 920.5 Gigawatthours (assuming hypothetical data), pointing to an ongoing reduction that aligns with broader energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
Future trends to watch for include potential technological advancements in the mining industry that may influence energy consumption rates, policy changes impacting energy use, and the shift towards renewable energy sources as the sector aims for greater sustainability. Furthermore, external economic factors and geopolitical events could also play a role in shaping the sector's energy consumption dynamics in the coming years.
