In 2023, the consumption of brown coal briquettes in Germany stood at 19.80 Thousand Gigawatthours. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a year-on-year decline, with figures dropping from 19.19 Thousand Gigawatthours in 2024 to 16.73 Thousand Gigawatthours in 2028. The consumption decrease reflects a consistent downward trend with the compound annual growth rate over these five years illustrating a gradual reduction in reliance on brown coal.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The shifting focus of Germany towards renewable energy sources, which could accelerate the decline in brown coal consumption.
- Policy changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions may further impact brown coal usage.
- Technological advancements in energy efficiency and alternate fuels potentially reducing the demand for brown coal briquettes.
