In 2023, the final consumption of solid fossil fuels in Germany's non-metallic minerals sector was reported to stand at 15.8 Thousand Gigawatthours. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent year-on-year decline, beginning with 15.44 in 2024 and decreasing to 14.08 by 2028. The projected trend illustrates a gradual reduction in consumption, reflecting an average annual decline, or CAGR, over these five years, signifying strategic shifts towards alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in energy efficiency within the non-metallic minerals sector, increased regulatory pressures for reducing fossil fuel reliance, and the adoption of renewable technologies, which may further contribute to decreasing consumption levels.
