In 2023, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil (excluding biofuel) in the Italian non-ferrous metal sector stood at a recorded figure before the projected growth seen in subsequent years. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 illustrates a progressive increase, with consumption anticipated to rise from 338.96 GWh in 2024 to 402.42 GWh by 2028. This reflects an overall upward trend.
Year-on-year percentage variations highlight an increase, demonstrating sector resilience and growth with specific percentages unnoted but implied through an increasing trajectory. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period underscores an expected positive development in the sector's energy consumption.
Factors influencing these trends include technological advancements in metal extraction and processing, regulatory environmental policies, and energy efficiency improvements. Future considerations include the impact of potential shifts towards greener energy alternatives and fluctuations in global energy prices.
