The lignite final consumption in Germany's chemical and petrochemical sectors is projected to slightly decline from 2024 to 2028, with consumption starting at 102.15 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 and decreasing to 100.91 by 2028. This reflects a gradual yearly decrease of less than 1% per annum. In 2023, the actual consumption data provides a baseline for these forecasts but is not detailed here. Furthermore, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecasted period suggests a slow downward trend in consumption.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in regulatory policies towards greener energy solutions, technological advancements in chemical production, and changes in market demand for petrochemical products. These factors could impact lignite consumption patterns, potentially accelerating the transition towards alternative energy sources.
