The final consumption of blended biodiesels in the mining and quarrying sector in France is forecasted to demonstrate a steady upward trend. Starting from 12.26 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, it is expected to increase marginally each year until it reaches 12.59 thousand tonnes in 2028. As of the end of 2023, consumption was likely just below these levels. The observed year-on-year variations are modest, reflecting a stable growth pattern, with a consistent annual increase of around 0.7% to 0.8%. Over a five-year horizon, this reflects a moderate but steady compound annual growth rate.
Future trends to monitor in this sector include advancements in biodiesel technology, regulatory changes promoting sustainable energy sources, and shifts in mining and quarrying activities which could further drive or hinder biodiesel consumption.
