The gross inland consumption of petroleum coke in France is projected to decrease gradually over the coming years. From 2024 to 2028, consumption is forecasted to decline from approximately 683.32 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent to 656.94. This represents a steady downward trend in consumption, with a year-on-year decrease observed annually. As for the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), the average decline per year over this five-year forecast period will be notable. In 2023, the actual consumption was already reflecting a slow decline, acting as a precursor to these successive reductions.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations and policies promoting alternative energy sources, which may further compress demand for petroleum coke. Observing shifts in industrial usage and the development of newer, cleaner technologies may also play a critical role in shaping future consumption patterns.
