The gross heat production from solid fossil fuels in Germany is expected to decline steadily from 2.56 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 2.28 million tonnes by 2028. Comparing 2023 levels to 2024, the variation is estimated to be a continuation of a downward trend seen in previous years. The year-over-year change indicates an average decrease in production, reflecting shifting energy policies and the move towards renewable sources.

Future trends to watch for:

Accelerated reduction in fossil fuel dependency due to stronger environmental regulations.
Potential investment growth in renewable technologies driving further declines in fossil fuel utilization.
Changes in global energy market dynamics influencing domestic energy strategies.
