Based on the provided forecast data, the year-on-year variation in the final consumption of brown coal in Belgium is as follows: 4.1% (2024-2025), 3.6% (2025-2026), 3.4% (2026-2027), and 3.0% (2027-2028). Over the last two years, the average annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 3.52%.
Looking ahead, the upward trend in brown coal consumption suggests a stable increase driven by specific industrial needs and possibly limited alternatives. However, ongoing environmental policies and the push for sustainable energy sources may impact future demand, potentially slowing growth or leading to a shift in energy consumption patterns.
