In 2024, the agriculture and forestry sector in France is forecasted to consume 246.57 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent of natural gas. This trend continues with incremental increases each year, reaching 266.47 by 2028. The trajectory shows a consistent upward trend in natural gas consumption with a year-on-year increase from 2024 onwards: 2.73% in 2025, 2.12% in 2026, 1.67% in 2027, and 1.31% by 2028. This portrays a steady but decelerating growth rate.
For future trends, watch for:
- Impact of environmental policies that may drive a shift towards renewable energy sources, potentially affecting natural gas consumption.- Technological advancements in energy efficiency that could alter consumption patterns in the agriculture and forestry sectors.- Economic shifts and geopolitical events that might influence energy prices and accessibility.
