In 2023, the volume of crude oil pipeline national transport in Germany was 3.78 billion tonne kilometers. The forecast for 2024 predicts a slight decrease to 3.73, continuing a downward trend over the next few years, with volumes reaching 3.52 by 2028. The year-on-year variations suggest a consistent decline, averaging a decrease of 1.41% annually over the forecast period. This trend is reflective of a broader shift towards alternative energy sources and improved energy efficiencies.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased investment in renewable energy infrastructure potentially impacting crude oil demand.
Technological advancements in pipeline efficiency possibly altering transport volumes.
Geopolitical factors affecting oil supply routes and transport volumes.
