The inland consumption of solid fossil fuels in France is on a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Forecasts predict a consistent year-on-year decrease, with levels falling from 10.09 million metric tons in 2024 to 6.99 million metric tons by 2028. As of 2023, actual consumption stood at a higher level indicative of the shift towards reduced dependence on solid fossil fuels.
Future trends to watch for include enhanced governmental policies aimed at sustainable energy transitions, improvements in renewable energy technologies, and potential geopolitical factors that might influence energy supply and consumption patterns. These factors could accelerate France's pivot from reliance on solid fossil fuels.
