In 2023, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil in the UK agriculture and forestry sector, excluding the biofuel portion, was recorded at 12.20 thousand terajoules. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a gradual increase from 12.27 to 12.56 thousand terajoules. This represents a year-on-year growth of approximately 0.57% from 2024 to 2025, continuing with a similar annual increase rate through 2028. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be around 0.57%.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in agricultural practices focusing on sustainability and eco-friendly alternatives, which could impact fossil fuel usage. Additionally, regulatory changes affecting fuel emissions in agriculture may alter consumption patterns.
