As of 2023, the final consumption of solid fossil fuels in Germany was approximately 6.3 million metric tons. The forecast for the years 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline, with the consumption decreasing from 5.96 million metric tons in 2024 to 4.91 million metric tons by 2028. This reflects a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of -4.9% over the forecast period. Year-on-year variations indicate a steady reduction, signaling Germany's shift towards alternative energy sources and increased energy efficiency.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Germany's policies on reducing carbon emissions will likely accelerate the decline in solid fossil fuel consumption.
- Advancements and investments in renewable energy technologies could further suppress fossil fuel usage.
- Potential economic fluctuations and geopolitical factors may impact energy consumption patterns in the region.
