The forecast for bioenergy final consumption in Italy's iron and steel sectors shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 4.56 thousand terajoules in 2024, consumption is expected to decrease to 3.74 thousand terajoules by 2028. This represents a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a decline. The year-on-year variations exhibit a steady reduction, underscoring a trend toward diminishing reliance on bioenergy within these sectors.

Future trends to watch for include:

A shift towards more sustainable or alternative energy sources as industries strive for lower emissions.
The potential impact of technological advancements on energy efficiency and consumption patterns in the iron and steel production processes.
Policy changes related to climate targets that could either promote or hinder the use of bioenergy.
