In 2023, the blast furnace gas gross electricity production in the UK stood at 46.43 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Based on the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028, a declining trend is noticeable, with an average annual decrease of approximately 6.5% over the five-year period. This indicates a steady reduction in reliance on blast furnace gas for electricity production.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The UK's ongoing transition to greener energy sources such as wind, solar, and nuclear energy, potentially further reducing reliance on blast furnace gas.
- Government policies aimed at decarbonizing the energy sector, which may impact blast furnace gas usage.
- Technological advancements and energy efficiency improvements in alternative energy production methods.
