The forecast for solid fossil fuels final consumption in Germany's non-metallic minerals sector shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, moving from 1.34 Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent to 1.24. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2% over the five-year period, signaling a consistent decrease in reliance on solid fossil fuels likely due to a greater shift toward sustainable and renewable energy sources. In 2023, the actual consumption stood slightly higher, showing the beginning of this downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include increased adoption of renewable energy technologies and innovations in energy efficiency, which could further decrease fossil fuel consumption. Policy changes and environmental regulations could accelerate this transition, potentially impacting industry strategies significantly.
