In the period leading up to 2023, the final consumption of solar thermal energy in Germany's chemical and petrochemical sector stood at zero terajoules, reflecting a complete absence of adoption in this energy segment. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 anticipates no change, maintaining the consumption level at zero terajoules. The year-on-year variation remains static, with no percentage change due to the continued non-use of solar thermal energy. Consequently, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the stated period also registers as zero, indicating no growth in this sector.
Future trends to watch include potential policy shifts promoting renewable energy use in industrial sectors. Additionally, technological advancements could make solar thermal solutions more economically viable, potentially altering current consumption forecasts. Stakeholders should monitor regulatory changes and innovation within renewable energy markets that could catalyze future adoption.
