The forecast for fossil energy final consumption in the non-ferrous metal sector in Italy indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The consumption figures start at 583.28 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 and see slight decreases each year, reaching 582.17 thousand tonnes by 2028. This trend suggests a minor year-on-year decrease of around 0.07% to 0.12%, indicating a stabilization rather than any swift transition or significant drop. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is estimated to be minimal.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements and policy changes toward renewable energy sources. These factors might accelerate the sector's shift away from fossil energy, potentially leading to a more pronounced annual decline in the following years. Monitoring regulatory developments and industry innovations will be crucial in anticipating shifts in energy consumption patterns.
