In 2024, the non-renewable industrial waste gross heat production in France is forecasted at 1.96 thousand terajoules. This reflects an increasing trend with values projected to reach 2.4 thousand terajoules by 2028. The year-on-year variations show consistent growth: 5.61% from 2024 to 2025, 5.8% from 2025 to 2026, 4.57% from 2026 to 2027, and 4.8% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period is approximately 5.19%, indicating steady expansion in this energy sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in energy policy towards more sustainable practices and technological advancements that could affect the efficiency of industrial waste heat recovery. Additionally, economic factors, regulations, and market demand shifts may influence the continuing growth in this area.
