In 2023, the gross available energy from petroleum coke in France stood at a certain benchmark which marks the base point for our forward analysis. Forecasts for 2024-2028 indicate a gradual decline in energy availability, with figures dropping from 7.95 to 7.65 thousand gigawatthours, reflecting a consistent year-on-year decrease: 0.88% from 2024 to 2025, 1.01% from 2025 to 2026, 0.90% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.04% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year period is anticipated to show a decrease, consistent with the year-on-year declines.
Future trends to watch for:
- Global environmental policies may impact petroleum coke energy availability as France shifts towards more sustainable energy sources.
- Technological advancements and efficiency improvements could alter these forecasts if implemented.
- Economic factors such as prices and demand in the energy sector might affect the trajectory of petroleum coke use.
