The calculated inland consumption of coke oven gas in Italy is on a significant decline, starting from 6.52 thousand terajoules in 2024 and plummeting to 0.65623 thousand terajoules by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with the sharpest fall projected between 2027 and 2028. In 2023, consumption stood at a substantial contrast to the projected 2024 value, suggesting a downward trajectory has just begun. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period indicates a substantial average annual decline.
Going forward, it is crucial to observe factors such as shifts in industrial practices, adoption of alternative energy sources, and regulatory policies, which could further influence this declining trend in coke oven gas consumption.
