The forecast for fossil energy final consumption in Italy's rail transport sector shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the consumption is projected to be 13.2 thousand terajoules, decreasing to 12.45 thousand terajoules by 2028. This indicates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.5% to 1.6% annually. Over the five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is negative, reflecting a consistent reduction in fossil energy consumption.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of Italy's continued investment in electrification of rail networks and the adoption of renewable energy sources. Additionally, regulatory pressures and advancements in energy-efficient technologies may further expedite the reduction in fossil energy usage in rail transport.
