As of 2023, the renewable municipal waste available for final consumption in France was less than the forecasted data for 2024. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent annual increase in availability: 1.4 in 2024, 1.46 in 2025, 1.51 in 2026, 1.57 in 2027, and 1.62 in 2028, all in thousand Gigawatthours. The year-on-year percentage increase is consistent, demonstrating a stable upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in waste-to-energy processes that may enhance efficiency and output.
- Policy shifts by the French government encouraging renewable and waste-derived energy.
- Potential changes in waste management practices that might affect the volume of waste available for energy conversion.
