In 2023, lignite consumption in France's industry was recorded at 18.35 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. From 2024 onwards, the forecast indicates a gradual decline in consumption: decreasing from 18.3 in 2024 to 18.22 in 2028. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 shows a marginal decrease of approximately 0.04%, suggesting a stable yet declining trend. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period is slightly negative, indicative of consistent reduction in usage.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include energy policies favoring cleaner fuels and technological advancements improving energy efficiency. Shifts towards decarbonization are likely to enhance the decline in lignite consumption.
