The gas oil and diesel oil consumption in Germany's wood and wood products sector is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, consumption is projected to be 6.46 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, decreasing each year to reach 4.99 by 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend, with an average annual decline over the period. This reduction may reflect a shift towards more sustainable energy sources or improved energy efficiency practices within the sector.

Future trends to watch for include:

Adoption of alternative energy sources such as renewables and biofuels.
Investment in energy-efficient technology within the wood products manufacturing process.
Potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption.
