In 2023, Italy's calculated inland consumption of anthracite was a key metric for tracking energy use, from which 2024 and beyond are projections. The year-on-year data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline, indicating a consistent yet modest decrease in consumption. The variation over the past two years reflects this trend, with slight dips in expected usage annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) analysis for the five-year period further underscores this gradual reduction.

Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include:

Continued push for renewable energy and its impact on coal demand.
Potential economic policies affecting coal mining and import regulations.
Technological advancements in energy efficiency that might reduce reliance on coal.
Environmental and social pressures for cleaner energy sources.
