The forecasted consumption of solid fossil fuels in the UK's construction sector indicates a consistent decline. From 2024, starting at 2.86 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, the value decreases incrementally each year, down to 2.68 by 2028. This suggests an average annual contraction of approximately 1.6% over this period.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of potential regulatory changes and advancements in renewable energy adoption within the construction industry. As the UK continues to push for net-zero carbon emissions, there may be further decreases in the usage of solid fossil fuels, influencing the shift towards more sustainable energy solutions.
