The mining and quarrying sector's final consumption of natural gas in Italy is projected to decrease from 22.01 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 19.59 in 2028. From 2024 to 2028, the consumption shows a consistent decline, averaging a decrease rate of around 2.9% annually. Compared to 2023, when actual consumption data was higher, the trend indicates a continual reduction in gas usage by this sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts towards renewable energy sources and their impact on natural gas consumption.
Changes in regulatory policies surrounding energy consumption and environmental protections.
Technological advances in mining and quarrying that could affect energy efficiency and consumption levels.
