The forecast for fossil energy final consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector in France shows a continuous decline from 2024 to 2028. The consumption is expected to decrease from 114.83 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 108.83 thousand terajoules in 2028. This results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.07% over the period. The year-on-year analysis predicts a consistent reduction in consumption, reflecting the sector's shift towards more sustainable practices and possibly increased efficiency.
Key future trends to watch include advancements in energy-efficient technologies and policies incentivizing renewable energy usage, potentially accelerating this downward trend in fossil fuel dependence. Additionally, regulatory pressure and carbon pricing mechanisms may further drive the reduction in fossil energy consumption in the industry.
