In 2023, the final consumption of fossil energy in the German industry was not specifically listed, but from 2024 onward, we see a consistent year-on-year decrease in forecasted values. Specifically, from 2024 to 2028, the consumption drops from 1.705 million terajoules to 1.6478 million terajoules, indicating a steady decline. The average annual decline rate over this five-year period (CAGR) reflects this ongoing reduction in fossil energy use.

Future trends to watch for:

The shift towards cleaner and renewable energy sources as Germany continues to push its Energiewende policy.
Potential regulatory changes or economic incentives that might accelerate the transition from fossil fuels.
Technological advancements that may improve energy efficiency in industrial processes, further reducing fossil fuel consumption.
