The forecast for fossil energy final consumption in the non-ferrous metal sector in France indicates a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. The consumption is projected to decline each year from 271.37 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 196.54 thousand tonnes in 2028, reflecting a consistent reduction in demand for fossil fuels in this sector.
Year-on-year, the consumption decreases by 7.0% from 2024 to 2025, 7.4% from 2025 to 2026, 7.9% from 2026 to 2027, and 8.6% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately -7.75%, signifying a steady decline in fossil fuel use.
Future trends to watch include advancements in technology leading to energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy sources, and regulatory changes driving a shift towards sustainability within the non-ferrous metal sector. These factors could further influence the reduction in fossil energy consumption beyond the forecast period.
