In 2023, Germany's renewable municipal waste gross available energy was estimated at 3.27 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Projections for the period from 2024 to 2028 suggest a gradual increase: from 3.32 in 2024 to 3.54 by 2028, reflecting a steady year-on-year growth between 1.5% and 1.6%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years stands at approximately 1.5%. This indicates a consistent positive trend in leveraging renewable resources from municipal waste.
Looking ahead, key trends include technological advancements in waste-to-energy conversion, regulatory support favoring green energy, and growing urban waste management efficiency. Monitoring these factors is crucial for evaluating long-term sustainability and energy targets in Germany.
