In 2024, France’s gross heat production of natural gas is forecasted at 76.01 thousand terajoules, which represents the starting point of a steady upward trend. By 2028, production is expected to reach 83.24 thousand terajoules. The predicted average annual growth rate over this period is approximately 2.3%. Between 2025 and 2026, the year-on-year increase is around 2.3%, indicating a consistent growth trajectory, which is slightly mirrored at a similar rate in subsequent years.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include the impact of renewable energy adoption on natural gas demand, potential regulatory changes, and technological advancements that may influence production efficiencies and environmental sustainability initiatives.
