The forecast for gas oil and diesel oil final consumption in the Italian industry shows a slight but consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. The consumption decreases from 17.06 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 16.7 thousand terajoules in 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year decline, with the variation mostly under 1%. Compared to 2023, where data is unavailable in this dataset, the forecast shows a modest contraction. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average decline, suggesting a continual decrease in consumption.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in energy efficiency technologies within industries and the increasing shift towards sustainable energy sources which could further reduce reliance on fossil fuels like gas oil and diesel. Additionally, regulatory changes or incentives promoting green energy in Italy might accelerate this transition, impacting future consumption rates.
