In 2023, the final consumption of petroleum coke in the non-metallic minerals sector in Germany stood at an actual value, and from 2024 onwards, forecasted figures suggest a declining trend. Between 2024 and 2028, the consumption is forecasted to decrease progressively. The year-on-year percentage change indicates a consistent downward trajectory, highlighting a reduction in dependence on petroleum coke.
- 2024 to 2025: Consumption decreases by approximately 5.06%.
- 2025 to 2026: Consumption decreases by approximately 5.28%.
- 2026 to 2027: Consumption decreases by approximately 5.52%.
- 2027 to 2028: Consumption decreases by approximately 5.78%.
The CAGR over these five years showcases a negative average annual growth rate, emphasizing the consistent decline in consumption.
Future trends to watch for include the transition towards cleaner energy sources and technological innovations that may impact energy efficiency within the non-metallic mineral sector. This shift could further influence the forecasted reduction in petroleum coke usage beyond 2028.
