The share of fossil fuels in Germany's total domestic material consumption is steadily declining. From 2024's projected value of 25.7%, the share is expected to decrease to 24.39% by 2028. Comparing 2024 with 2023's actual figures, we notice a downward trend, with values reflecting an average year-on-year decrease. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to show a slight negative trend, indicating a sustained reduction in fossil fuel usage over five years.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in renewable energy technologies, changes in government policies favoring sustainability, and shifts in consumer preferences towards less carbon-intensive products, potentially accelerating the decline in fossil fuel consumption.
