Based on the forecasted data, the final consumption of natural gas in the agriculture and forestry sector in France shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 2.64 Thousand Gigawatthours in 2024, the consumption is projected to grow modestly to 2.71 Thousand Gigawatthours by 2028. The year-on-year variations indicate a gradual increase of approximately 0.75% on average each year. Since the analysis begins in 2024 with actual data preceding it, comparisons to 2023 levels are not available in the provided dataset. Examining this trend, a longer-term compound annual growth rate (CAGR) calculation reveals a sustained upward trajectory over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for in this sector include the impact of climate change policies, shifts in energy price dynamics, and advancements in natural gas alternatives like bioenergy. These factors could influence both the demand for natural gas and the pace of transition towards more sustainable energy sources in agriculture and forestry.
