In 2023, fossil energy final consumption in Italy's machinery sector stood at 15.98 thousand gigawatthours. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend: a decrease from 12.47 in 2024 to 2.49 in 2028. The year-on-year variations show reductions of 21% from 2024 to 2025, 26% from 2025 to 2026, 33.6% from 2026 to 2027, and 48.8% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period suggests a strong annual decline of 35%.
Future trends to observe include the impact of shifting policy frameworks on fossil fuel usage and the acceleration of energy-efficient technologies, which might further expedite the reduction in fossil energy consumption within the machinery sector.
