The forecast for fossil energy final consumption in the non-ferrous metal sector in Germany from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent downward trend, dropping from 1.46 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 1.4 in 2028. Compared to 2023's actual consumption of 1.47 million tonnes, the sector is expected to decrease its reliance on fossil fuels year-on-year by -0.68% in 2024 and continually reduce by an average CAGR of -1.01% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include the adoption of renewable energy sources and efficiency improvements within the sector. Additionally, regulatory pressures to reduce carbon emissions may accelerate the shift away from fossil fuel consumption even further.
