The forecast for France's fuel oil gross inland consumption indicates a slight but steady decline from 2024 to 2028. Each year sees a decrease in tonnage as follows: 2024 and 2025 remain constant at -2,560,000 tonnes, whereas 2026 and 2027 drop to -2,570,000 tonnes, and 2028 further decreases to -2,580,000 tonnes. This reflects a downward trend in consumption, likely influenced by a shift towards more sustainable energy sources.
Looking forward, key trends to monitor include the adoption of alternative energy technologies, regulatory shifts favoring renewable energy, and ongoing environmental policy changes. These factors could accelerate the reduction in fuel oil consumption in the coming years.
