In the Italian commercial and public services sectors, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil (excluding biofuel) is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028. The forecast values show a consistent decline, with the consumption in 2024 at 853.87 GWh, subsequently decreasing by approximately 7% yearly to 616.76 GWh by 2028. This reflects an annual compound average decline rate (CAGR) of around 7.9%, indicating a significant reduction in fossil fuel usage over this period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increasing focus on decarbonization may accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources, further impacting fossil fuel consumption.
- The adoption of energy-efficient technologies in public and commercial services could contribute significantly to the declining trend in fossil fuel demand.
- Regulatory policies and incentives aimed at reducing carbon emissions may influence future energy consumption patterns.
