The key future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of policy changes aimed at promoting renewable energy sources in Italy which could affect wood fuel import volumes.
Fluctuations in global biomass markets, which could influence import prices and Italy's competitive positioning.
Technological advancements in energy production which may shift Italy's reliance on wood fuel imports.
