In 2023, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil (excluding biofuel portion) in France's commercial and public services sector stood at 74.5 thousand terajoules. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a declining trend in consumption, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.3%. This represents a year-on-year percentage decrease, reflecting ongoing energy transition efforts.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increased adoption of renewable energy sources might further reduce reliance on gas oil and diesel oil.
- France's regulatory policies focusing on emissions and carbon neutrality goals could accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.
- Technological advancements in energy efficiency within the commercial and public services sector could lead to further decreases in traditional fuel consumption.
