The data indicates that from 2024 to 2028, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil in the French industry is projected to steadily decline from 1.24 to 1.18 million tonnes of oil equivalent. This reflects a decreasing trend, with a consistent average annual decrease (CAGR) of approximately 1% over these five years. It suggests a gradual shift away from these traditional fuel sources in the industrial sector, possibly due to increased energy efficiency measures or a switch to alternative energy sources. Compared to 2023, the consumption starts to show a slight decline in 2024, indicating the start of this trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of governmental policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency, as well as the potential rise in alternative energy adoption. Monitoring changes in industrial fuel consumption will be crucial to understanding the pace at which France's industrial sector is transitioning to renewable energy sources.
