This forecast reveals a moderate year-on-year growth with percentage increases being relatively stable across the projected years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon footprints, possibly affecting solid fossil fuel consumption.
Technological advancements within the sector which may shift energy consumption patterns.
The broader European decarbonization agenda impacting fossil fuel reliance.
