The fossil energy final consumption in Italy’s chemical and petrochemical sectors shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.76 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 and declining year-on-year to reach 2.45 million tonnes by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -3% over the period. Notably, in 2023, the consumption value stood higher than the forecasted 2024 levels. This reduction highlights ongoing efforts toward energy efficiency and a transition to renewable sources within the industry.
Future trends to watch include the impact of policy incentives for greener technologies, potential advancements in production efficiency, and fluctuations in global energy markets that may affect Italy’s strategic energy decisions and consumption patterns in these sectors.
