In 2023, France's renewable municipal waste gross inland consumption was approximately 1.3 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a steady year-on-year increase of about 1.5%, leading to an estimated 1.4 million tonnes by 2028. This represents a modest compound annual growth rate over the five years, reflecting France's gradual shift toward sustainable energy sources.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in waste-to-energy conversion, government policies promoting circular economy principles, and potential fluctuations in energy prices which could impact the economic attractiveness of renewable waste. The integration of digital solutions in waste management may also influence future consumption patterns.
