In 2023, the gross available energy from additives and oxygenates (excluding biofuel) in the UK stood at approximately 16.5 gigawatthours. Forecasted figures show a significant downward trend with a notable decline each subsequent year from 2024, reaching -53.59 gigawatthours by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change from 2024 to 2025 is a drastic drop of around 140%, with a continuous descent leading to a steep decline by 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period reveals an average yearly decrease of approximately 139.2%.
- Monitoring shifts in government energy policies, which could impact the trajectory of additive and oxygenate usage, is critical.
- Technological advancements in energy production methods may alter demand patterns for additives and oxygenates.
- Global market trends and raw material availability could further influence future energy forecasts.
