In 2023, Italy's domestic material consumption of fossil fuel was last recorded at 2.02 thousand kilograms per capita. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a steady decline in consumption, with a year-on-year decrease averaging around 2% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is negative, reflecting a continual reduction in consumption.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Adoption of renewable energy sources which may accelerate this declining trend.
- Policy changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions that could further drive down fossil fuel consumption.
- Technological advancements in energy efficiency and sustainable practices potentially influencing consumption patterns.
