The forecasted fossil energy final consumption in the mining and quarrying sector in France shows a stabilized trend from 2024 to 2028, with values slightly decreasing from 255.23 to 255.14 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. This indicates a minimal annual decrease and a consistent consumption pattern. The consumption level in 2023 needs to be addressed to provide a clear baseline for percentage variation analysis. Current data points suggest a negligible compound annual growth rate over the projected period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Influence of regulatory pressures on fossil fuel consumption reduction.
Potential adoption of greener, alternative energy sources.
Technological advancements and process optimizations in the industry impacting energy efficiency.
