In 2023, the brown coal briquettes transformation output in Germany stood at an estimated 2.99 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a gradual decline in output. Between 2024 and 2028, the output decreases from 2.94 to 2.74 million tonnes, reflecting an average annual reduction of about 0.2 million tonnes each year. Compared to 2023, this signifies a steady downward trend.

Future trends to watch:

Germany's shift towards renewable energy could further decrease brown coal reliance.
Regulatory changes and environmental policies may impact production levels.
Technological advancements might improve efficiency and alter forecast dynamics.
