In 2023, France's gross inland consumption of additives and oxygenates, excluding biofuel, is assumed to have been aligned with the starting forecast for 2024, at 2.42 thousand gigawatthours. The projected values from 2024 to 2028 indicate a downward trend, decreasing each year by approximately 3.7% on average. Specifically, the consumption is forecasted to decline from 2.42 in 2024 to 2.08 in 2028. This consistent decrease suggests a shift towards factors such as improved fuel efficiency or alternative energy sources over the period.
Future trends worth monitoring include:
- Advancements in engine technology leading to reduced reliance on additives.
- Policy changes impacting the composition of fuel mixtures in response to environmental targets.
- The impact of evolving alternative energy markets and electrification in the transportation sector.
