In 2023, the consumption of fossil energy in France's rail transport stood at a significant level, and forecasts indicate a downward trend in the coming years.
From 2024 to 2028, projected consumption decreases steadily from 145.08 to 108.0 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Annually, this reflects an average decrease of around 7.0% in consumption, indicating a strong shift towards more sustainable modes.
Noteworthy trends to watch for include:
- Increased adoption of electric and alternative energy sources in rail transport.
- Government policies pushing for carbon reduction could accelerate this trend.
