The forecast for fossil energy final consumption in the UK's agriculture and forestry sectors shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 12.11 thousand gigawatt-hours and reaching 12.86 thousand gigawatt-hours by 2028. Comparing the year-on-year variation indicates a consistent annual growth of approximately 1.6%. Given that 2023's baseline consumption figures were not provided, these estimates suggest a gradual uptick in demand reflecting ongoing reliance on fossil energies in these sectors despite broader efforts towards sustainability.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in renewable energy technologies, policy shifts towards carbon reduction, and potential economic factors that could disrupt traditional energy consumption patterns in agriculture and forestry.
