The gross available energy from coking coal in the UK is projected to decline significantly from 2024 to 2028, starting at 43.55 thousand terajoules in 2024 and dropping to 9.15 thousand terajoules by 2028. This represents a drastic year-on-year decrease with an approximate decline of 70-80% over these five years. In 2023, the actual values stood higher, indicating a sharp downward trend post-2023. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 implies a steep negative growth, stressing the diminishing reliance on coking coal energy.
Future trends to watch include the transition towards sustainable energy sources and potential policy changes affecting fossil fuel usage. Monitoring technological advancements in alternative energy production will be crucial as they may accelerate this transition, affecting energy availability forecasts beyond 2028.
