In 2023, the final consumption of solid fossil fuels in France's agriculture and forestry sector stood at roughly 1.52 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. The forecast for 2024 through 2028 indicates a steady annual increase: 1.6% for each year from 2024 to 2028. This growth trend leads to a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.6% over the next five years, indicating moderate but consistent increase in consumption.

Future trends to watch for include:

The ongoing shift towards sustainable energy practices might dampen the projected growth in fossil fuel consumption.
Technological advancements in renewable energy for agriculture may impact traditional energy usage.
Policy changes at national or EU levels aimed at reducing carbon footprints could alter consumption patterns significantly.
