The natural gas consumption in the UK’s non-metallic minerals sector is projected to remain relatively stable from 2024 to 2028, with values consistently around 1.1 to 1.11 million tonnes of oil equivalent. This indicates a negligible change year-on-year, suggesting a plateau in demand after the levels recorded in 2023. This flat trend suggests minimal shifts in energy efficiency or production scale within the sector.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes affecting energy use, potential technological advancements increasing energy efficiency, and the influence of economic factors such as construction industry growth, which could impact energy consumption rates in this sector.
