In 2023, fossil energy consumption in international maritime bunkers in France stood at approximately 1.66 million tonnes of oil equivalent. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline: by 2025, consumption is expected to drop to 1.64, by 2026 to 1.62, by 2027 to 1.61, and by 2028 to 1.59 million tonnes of oil equivalent.

Year-on-year variation shows a consistent decrease, with an average annual reduction that is reflected in the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period, indicative of a transition towards more sustainable practices.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased adoption of alternative and renewable fuels in maritime transport to meet environmental regulations.
Technological advancements aimed at improving energy efficiency in international shipping.
Policy interventions by the French government to incentivize cleaner fuel consumption.
