The forecast for gas oil and diesel oil consumption in agriculture and forestry in Italy shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 82.32 thousand terajoules in 2024 and dropping to 81.83 thousand terajoules by 2028. Compared to the actual consumption in 2023, the forecast indicates a slight decrease over the subsequent years. The year-on-year percentage decline is minor, demonstrating a stable but gradually decreasing trend, likely due to ongoing improvements in energy efficiency and the gradual adoption of alternative energy sources. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these years reflects a steady reduction in consumption.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of EU policies on renewable energy adoption and emissions reduction targets, which could further decrease fossil fuel reliance. Also, technological advancements in agricultural machinery might enhance fuel efficiency, leading to reduced consumption. Monitoring biofuel integration in the sector could also provide insights into long-term changes in energy source utilization.
