The forecast for coke oven gas final consumption in Italy's iron and steel sectors shows a decrease from 66.36 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 58.02 in 2028. This indicates a clear downward trend, with an average annual decline of approximately 3.4% year-on-year since the forecast period began in 2024. Compared to a baseline level in 2023, the consumption is set to reduce steadily over the forecast period, reflecting efforts for efficiency and possibly a shift toward alternative fuels.
Future trends to watch for include increasing investments in greener technologies and the adoption of more sustainable energy sources, which may further impact the demand for traditional fuels like coke oven gas in the iron and steel industries. These changes are expected to be aligned with broader European regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions and fostering a more sustainable industrial practice.
