The domestic processed output of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in France is projected to decrease significantly from 80.89 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 33.55 thousand metric tons in 2028. This indicates a strong downward trend, with major declines observed year-on-year: a 16% drop in 2025, another 18% fall in 2026, followed by a 20% decrease in 2027, and culminating in a 24% reduction in 2028. Notably, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 forecasts an average annual decrease of 19.8%.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes and technological advancements focused on environmental sustainability, which may further influence the reduction of SO2 emissions. Moreover, shifts in industrial practices and increased adoption of cleaner energy sources could also affect these projections, driving future declines in processed SO2 outputs.
