The consumption of fuel oil in Italy's paper, pulp, and printing sectors is projected to decrease steadily from 3.34 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 2.85 thousand terajoules by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decline, indicative of an average annual decrease (CAGR) over this period. In comparison to 2023, when consumption was higher, this downward trend suggests a shift likely influenced by technological advancements, efficiency improvements, or increased use of alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch include:
- Adoption of renewable energy and its impact on fuel oil usage.
- Technological progress in energy efficiency within these sectors.
- Legislative changes and environmental policies affecting fuel consumption.
