In 2023, the direct transfer on coal for all beneficiaries or sectors in Germany stood at 1.86 billion USD. The forecasted values indicate a decline from 2024 to 2028, with a 3.91% reduction in 2024 and a further gradual decrease year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years from 2024 to 2028 is anticipated to be -4.49%, reflecting a consistent downward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Continued policy shifts towards renewable energy sources in Germany could further decrease the reliance on coal.
Technological advancements promoting energy efficiency may play a significant role in reducing direct coal consumption.
Potential economic incentives or subsidies for alternative energy sources could impact the trajectory of coal-related expenditures.
