In 2023, the final consumption of solid fossil fuels in France's chemical and petrochemical sector was recorded at 313.2 Thousand Tonnes of Oil Equivalent. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decrease in consumption, from 307.11 to 284.52 TTOE, reflecting an annual average decline. The year-on-year reductions illustrate a steady decrease each year, indicating a gradual shift away from solid fossil fuels.

Future trends to watch for:

Transition towards cleaner energy sources and increased emphasis on sustainability in the chemical and petrochemical industry.
Potential policy changes and environmental regulations that could further impact fossil fuel consumption.
Development of new technologies or processes that may offer alternatives to solid fossil fuels in this sector.
