The forecast for fossil energy final consumption in domestic navigation in France from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady increase, starting at 5.68 Thousand Gigawatthours in 2024, gradually rising to 5.77 Thousand Gigawatthours by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.35%. As of 2023, the recorded consumption was slightly lower, suggesting a modest upward trend for the near future.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy shifts towards renewable energy sources, which could impact fossil fuel consumption levels.
Technological innovations in maritime efficiency and fuel alternatives.
Regulatory changes within the European Union that might influence energy consumption and emissions standards in navigation.
