The consumption of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) in the commercial and public services sector in the UK is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, with an average annual growth rate of approximately 4.2%. This upward trend reflects a consistent year-on-year growth, driven by modern energy demands and a shift towards cleaner fuels. In 2023, LPG consumption stood at 21.5 thousand terajoules, marking the starting point for this forecasted increase.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential regulatory changes targeting carbon emissions, influencing the shift towards LPG usage.
- Technological advancements improving LPG efficiency and distribution sectors.
- The impact of economic conditions on energy consumption patterns, particularly in commercial and public services.
