The forecast of solid fossil fuels consumption in Germany’s mining and quarrying sector shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, dropping from 2.29 to 2.03 thousand terajoules. This represents an average year-on-year decrease of around 2.3%. Back in 2023, the consumption was at a higher level, demonstrating that the sector is increasingly moving away from these fuels. Over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a decline reinforcing a downward trend in solid fossil fuels usage in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include a possible shift towards greener energy sources due to regulatory pressures and technological advancements. Moreover, increased environmental awareness and sustainability goals might further drive efforts to reduce reliance on solid fossil fuels.
