The forecast for Gas Oil and Diesel Oil (excluding biofuel portion) gross heat production in the UK displays a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 23.21 GWh in 2024 and decreasing to 20.59 GWh by 2028. Compared to 2023, which witnessed gross heat production of 23.89 GWh, forecasts suggest a steady annual reduction with a minor average decline each year based on historical data. From 2024 onwards, this equates to an average annual contraction of approximately 2.91% over the five years through to 2028.
Future trends to monitor include policies promoting renewable energy adoption, technological advancements affecting energy efficiency, and shifts in regulatory frameworks impacting fossil fuel use. Such dynamics can influence the trajectory of gas and diesel oil-based energy production, coupled with growing competition from sustainable energy sources.
