The forecasted fossil energy final consumption in Italy's paper, pulp, and printing sectors shows a moderate upward trend from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 2.56 to 2.62 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Compared to 2023's actual figures, this indicates an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.6%. The year-on-year variations reflect minor growth of about 0.78% to 0.39%, showing a stable yet slow increase in fossil energy consumption within the sector.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts towards renewable energy sources due to increasing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures. This could moderate or even reverse the current trend in the coming years.
