The final consumption of non-renewable municipal waste in Germany's wood and wood products sector is forecasted to increase from 30 Terajoules in 2024 to 38 Terajoules in 2028. This steady increment suggests a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 6.45%. This forecast period presents an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.45% from 2024 to 2028, indicating a sustained rise in energy consumption from non-renewable sources within the industry.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased regulatory pressures on the wood industry to transition towards more sustainable and renewable energy sources.
Advancements in waste-to-energy technologies that might offer more efficient solutions and alter consumption patterns.
Growing emphasis on circular economy practices that could reduce reliance on non-renewable municipal waste energy.
