The forecast for tar sands and oil shale domestic material consumption in France from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline, with values stabilizing at -0.001 Metric Tons Per Capita starting in 2025. This forecast reflects ongoing efforts to phase out environmentally harmful fossil fuels. The year-on-year variation indicates a commitment to a reduced reliance on tar sands, likely influenced by stringent environmental policies. In 2023, measurements stood at zero, emphasizing a historical trend away from these resources.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential advancements in renewable energy technologies displacing fossil fuels further.
Policy shifts within the EU that could further accelerate or decelerate this trend.
Global oil market dynamics and their indirect impact on Europe's energy strategies.
