The forecast for natural gas final consumption in the machinery sector in France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 602.91 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, it falls consistently each year to reach 529.74 thousand tonnes by 2028. This downward trend reflects a year-on-year reduction which averages out to approximately a relatively steady decrease over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential technological advancements in machinery that could reduce natural gas dependency.
- Government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and their impact on natural gas consumption.
- Market shifts towards renewable energy sources that could further accelerate the decline in natural gas use.
