The forecasted data for Gas Oil and Diesel Oil (excluding biofuel portion) final consumption in the chemical and petrochemical sectors in Italy shows a consistent increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 140.52 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, there is a steady yearly rise, reaching 157.6 by 2028. This indicates a year-on-year growth, with an average annual increase of approximately 3.06% over the five-year period. This consistent upward trend highlights an increasing demand within these sectors for gas oil and diesel oil, excluding biofuels.
Looking ahead, it’s crucial to monitor shifts in regulatory policies, technological advancements in alternative fuels, and the global push towards sustainability. These factors could significantly influence demand patterns, potentially accelerating the shift towards more eco-friendly energy sources within the chemical and petrochemical sectors. Thus, while current trends show growth, the future landscape may evolve, reflecting broader changes in energy consumption and environmental policy.
