In 2023, the consumption of natural gas in the agriculture and forestry sector in the UK stood at a certain baseline. Looking forward, the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline in natural gas consumption, with values decreasing annually by 2.7% on average. From 2024 to 2025, there is a projected drop of approximately 2.7%, continuing similarly through to 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects this downward trend, highlighting a shift perhaps towards alternative energy sources or enhanced efficiency within these sectors.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increased adoption of renewable energy sources, reducing reliance on natural gas.
- Technological advancements in energy efficiency that may further decrease consumption.
- Potential policy changes aimed at driving sustainability which could impact energy use in agriculture and forestry.
