The forecasted final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil in the construction sector in the UK shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 7.97 to 7.79 thousand terajoules. In 2023, this consumption stood at an actual figure of 8.02 thousand terajoules, indicating an annual average decrease of approximately 0.47% over the five-year period to 2028. Year-on-year variations display small, consistent reductions, reflecting a downtrend in the sector's reliance on these fuels.
Future trends to watch for include the increased adoption of alternative fuels and technologies in construction, policy changes impacting fossil fuel usage, and developments in energy efficiency standards that could further influence fossil fuel consumption patterns in the sector.
