In 2023, the availability for final consumption of solid fossil fuels in the UK stood at an unspecified level. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts suggest a significant decline in availability, with values dropping from 1.03 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 0.56717 in 2028. Year-on-year percentage changes indicate a consistent downtrend, reflecting a substantial decrease due to policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and shifting towards renewable energy sources. The compound annual growth rate over this period underscores a sharp average annual decrease.

Future trends to watch include:

Continued policy shifts towards decarbonization.
Technological advancements in renewable energy solutions.
Market dynamics influenced by geopolitical events and economic factors affecting fossil fuel supply.
Increased investments in green energy infrastructure and technologies.
