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.
