In 2023, fossil energy consumption in international maritime bunkers in France stood at an actual value of 19.65 Thousand Gigawatthours. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in consumption, with values decreasing slightly each year, reaching 19.39 Thousand Gigawatthours by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 0.25% over the period.
Key points to watch for in the future:
- France's ongoing policy initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions in maritime transport could further influence these trends.
- Technological advancements in alternative fuels and shipping efficiency could accelerate the decrease in fossil energy consumption.
- Potential economic or geopolitical factors that might impact global maritime commerce, affecting energy consumption patterns.
