In 2023, Germany's domestic material consumption of fossil fuel stood at 4.05 thousand kilograms per capita. The forecast data indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 3.94 to 3.57 thousand kilograms per capita.

Future trends to watch for include:

Germany's ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources may accelerate this declining trend.
Policy changes or technological advancements could further influence fossil fuel consumption rates.
Economic factors such as energy prices and industrial demand will also play a crucial role in shaping these trends.
