In 2023, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil (excluding biofuel) by the food, beverages, and tobacco sectors in Germany stood at approximately 126.20 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. The forecast from 2024 through 2028 shows a negligible decline, with values slightly decreasing from 126.18 to 126.15 thousand tonnes. This minimal year-on-year reduction indicates a stable consumption trend with a near-zero average annual change over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of stringent environmental regulations and energy policies pushing for reduced dependency on fossil fuels. The industry's shift toward sustainable practices and biofuel integration could alter this stable consumption outlook.
