The forecasted data for gas oil and diesel oil consumption in the UK’s paper, pulp, and printing sectors indicate a steady consumption level from 2024 to 2028, ranging from 30.57 to 30.58 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent annually. In 2023, the actual consumption was similar, signaling a flat growth trajectory. Year-on-year variation is negligible, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period is effectively zero, revealing stability in this energy consumption sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in energy efficiency within the paper, pulp, and printing industries.
Potential policy changes impacting fossil fuel usage.
Increasing pressures for carbon footprint reduction may prompt shifts to greener energy sources.
