The forecast for France's industrial sector shows a decreasing trend in the consumption of solid fossil fuels from 2024 to 2028, moving from 773.01 to 588.6 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. The year-on-year percentage decrease highlights significant declines: 6% in 2025, 6.4% in 2026, 6.7% in 2027, and 7.2% in 2028. While this trajectory illustrates a consistent reduction, it reflects efforts towards energy transition and potential regulatory impacts. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years delineates an average annual decrease of 6.6%.
Future trends to monitor include technological advances in alternative energy, the impact of EU policies targeting emission reductions, and shifts in industrial strategy towards sustainability. Growth in green energy investment might further accelerate the decline in solid fossil fuel consumption.
