In 2023, France's fossil energy consumption in international maritime bunkers was observed at 70.75 thousand terajoules. From 2024 to 2028, forecast data demonstrates a gradual decline in consumption, from 70.56 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 69.81 thousand terajoules by 2028. This indicates a stable but slight annual reduction with the following year-on-year percentage variations: -0.27% from 2024 to 2025, -0.27% from 2025 to 2026, -0.26% from 2026 to 2027, and -0.27% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these 5 years is approximately -0.27%.
Future trends to watch for include a potential shift towards renewable energy sources and ongoing regulatory measures aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption in maritime transportation. The industry's adaptation to cleaner technologies and alternative energy sources will be crucial in shaping future energy consumption patterns.
