The forecasted consumption of coke oven coke in Germany’s non-metallic minerals sector shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 65.96 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent and reducing to 63.95. The year-on-year percentage decreases from 2024 onwards are relatively modest but consistently negative, indicating a gradual reduction in consumption. Given the absence of data for 2023, it is challenging to pinpoint the causes behind this trend, though it may relate to efficiency measures or shifts in energy sources within the sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential advancements or regulatory changes encouraging alternative energy usage or efficiency improvements, which could further decrease coke oven coke reliance. Macro factors, such as economic growth rates, technological advancements in non-metallic mineral processing, and policy shifts in energy consumption, will play critical roles in shaping this sector's energy demands.
