The forecast for Italy's renewable municipal waste gross inland consumption from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent yearly decline. Starting at 815.52 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, it is expected to drop to 801.6 by 2028. This represents a percentage decrease of approximately 1% year-on-year. As of 2023, actual data stood slightly higher, reflecting a downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the projection period is notably negative, pointing towards a gradual decrease in reliance on renewable municipal waste for energy.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in waste-to-energy technologies and policies promoting circular economies. These could influence future consumption patterns and potentially reverse or stabilize current declines.
