The bioenergy final consumption in rail transport in Germany is forecasted to increase steadily from 116.4 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 127.38 thousand tonnes in 2028. From 2023 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is around 2.3%. Year-on-year, the consumption is projected to grow by approximately 2.7% from 2024 to 2025 and 2.4% from 2025 to 2026, continuing a consistent upward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advances in rail transport that may increase bioenergy efficiency.
Regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions, potentially increasing bioenergy demand.
Fluctuations in the availability and cost of bioenergy resources.
