In 2023, the production of solid fossil fuels in Germany was estimated to be significantly higher than the forecasted figures for the following years. From 2024 onwards, a consistent decline in production is evident: a decrease of approximately 13.2% from 2024 to 2025, followed by further reductions of roughly 15.1% from 2025 to 2026, 17.6% from 2026 to 2027, and 21.1% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period (2024-2028) indicates an average decline of about 15.6% per year.

Future trends to observe include:

Germany’s push towards renewable energy sources, which may accelerate the decline in solid fossil fuel production.
Potential policy changes or economic conditions that could impact energy production and consumption patterns.
Technological advancements that could alter the cost-effectiveness of solid fossil fuel production and usage.
