In 2023, Italy's gross electricity production from pure biodiesels was slightly above 3 Gigawatthours. Forecast data indicates a significant decline from 2024 to 2028, with production decreasing from 2.95 GWh in 2024 to 0.38 GWh in 2028. Year-on-year variations show a downward trend: a 29.5% drop from 2024 to 2025, a 33.7% decrease from 2025 to 2026, and further declines of 40.6% and 53.7% in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reflects a steep annual decrease.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in biodiesel production and potential policy shifts in renewable energy incentives, which could either mitigate or exacerbate this declining trend. Additionally, the competitive landscape from other renewable sources like solar and wind might affect biodiesel’s share in the energy mix.
