As of 2023, the non-renewable municipal waste energy supply in Germany was slightly below 3.24 million tonnes of oil equivalent. The forecast data indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with a slight annual growth. Year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 show an average increase of around 0.9% annually, highlighting a consistent, albeit modest, growth trend. This steady upward trend reflects a stable reliance on non-renewable energy recovery from municipal waste, underscoring the balance between waste management and energy extraction practices.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in recycling technologies and policy shifts towards sustainable waste management, which may reduce non-renewable waste energy recovery. Additionally, increased focus on renewable energy sources might alter the trajectory of this sector, potentially impacting future forecasts.
