In 2023, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil in the UK's non-metallic minerals sector was higher, but the forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline, with values decreasing slightly each year from 1.8 to 1.76 Thousand Gigawatthours. The year-on-year decrease is consistent, suggesting a trend towards reduced consumption.
Future trends to watch for:
- Energy efficiency improvements in the sector.
- Transition towards cleaner energy sources.
- Potential impact of regulatory changes focused on reducing carbon emissions.
