In 2023, final consumption for gas oil and diesel oil, excluding the biofuel portion, in Italy's chemical and petrochemical sectors stood at approximately 1.54 thousand GWh. Looking at future forecasts from 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent positive year-on-year increase in consumption. Specifically, year-on-year variations from 2024 through 2028 reflect an annual increase of approximately 2.53% in 2024, followed by similar increments in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is estimated at approximately 2.5%, indicating steady growth in fuel consumption in these sectors.
Future trends to watch for include technological improvements in energy efficiency and potential regulatory changes towards cleaner energy sources. Monitoring any shifts towards sustainable production or advancements within the chemical industry may impact the consumption forecast in years to follow.
