As of 2023, the consumption of primary solid biofuels in UK agriculture and forestry was 3.96 Thousand Terajoules. The forecast indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with a consistent year-on-year decrease of about 2.6%, resulting in a projected consumption of 3.45 Thousand Terajoules by 2028. This suggests a shift perhaps due to improvements in energy efficiency or shifts towards alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in biofuel production and their potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs could influence this trend.
- Policy changes in energy and environment regulations could impact the level of reliance on solid biofuels.
- Market dynamics in agriculture and forestry sectors may react to broader trends in energy pricing and supply.
