In 2023, Italy's hard coal direct material inputs stood at an observed volume. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data indicates a gradual decline, with values decreasing from 11.02 to 10.87 million metric tons. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.36% for 2025 and subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecasted period from 2024 to 2028 shows an average annual decline, reflecting a cautious approach towards reducing reliance on hard coal.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of Italy's shift towards renewable energy sources and cleaner energy policies, which may further accelerate the decline in coal inputs. Additionally, economic and regulatory changes could influence the rate at which this transition takes place.
