In 2023, the final consumption of primary solid biofuels in the food, beverages, and tobacco sectors in Germany stood at an actual figure which is a baseline for forecast projections starting in 2024. By 2028, this is expected to rise to 69.55 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, reflecting consistent year-on-year growth.
The forecasted growth rates are relatively stable, with an upward trajectory indicating a 3% annual increase on average. This sustained growth suggests increasing reliance on biofuels in these sectors, aligning with broader energy transition targets.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of regulatory changes promoting renewable energy adoption.
- Technological advancements enhancing biofuel efficiency.
- Fluctuations in raw material availability and their effect on final consumption rates.
