The chemical and petrochemical sector in France saw negligible renewable municipal waste consumption in 2023. Forecasts indicate a steady yearly increase from 0.21 terajoules in 2024 to 0.29 terajoules by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 9.52%. Looking over a 5-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averages at 8.24%, suggesting a gradual but steady uptake of renewable municipal waste within the sector.
Future trends to watch include advancements in waste-to-energy technologies, government policies favoring renewable waste usage, and potential shifts in petrochemical production processes towards more sustainable methods relying on renewable resources.
