In 2023, the gross available energy from brown coal briquettes in Germany was recorded at a significantly higher level than the projected data for the years from 2024 to 2028, where a constant decline to -760,300 tonnes of oil equivalent is forecasted. Between 2023 and 2024, there is a notable drop, indicating a trend of diminishing reliance on brown coal briquettes. Over a five-year horizon from now until 2028, the sector is expected to experience a flatline with no further decrease, maintaining the negative value consistently throughout the period under review.
Future trends to watch include Germany's ongoing energy transition initiatives aimed at reducing fossil fuel usage, increasing renewable energy capacity, and enhancing energy efficiency. These factors are likely to dictate future changes in Germany's energy mix, potentially phasing out traditional energy sources like brown coal briquettes.
