The forecast for final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil in the iron and steel sectors in France shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. As of 2023, the baseline consumption data provides a reference point before the reductions begin. The consumption decreases progressively each year, reflecting the industry's shift towards more efficient or alternative energy sources. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decline, averaging a decrease of approximately 2.76% annually over this period. This suggests a steady move towards reduced reliance on non-renewable energy forms in the sector.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements that may further decrease fossil fuel dependency.
- Regulatory changes influencing energy consumption patterns in heavy industries.
- Potential fluctuations in global energy markets affecting domestic consumption.
