The forecast for the UK's energy sector indicates a decreasing trend in the final consumption of coke oven gas from 2024 to 2028. The consumption is expected to decline annually, starting from 2.44 thousand terajoules in 2024, reducing steadily to 1.85 thousand terajoules by 2028. This represents an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -7% over the five-year period. By comparison, in 2023, the consumption was notably higher. The year-on-year percentage decrease reflects ongoing reductions in reliance on coke oven gas.
Future trends to watch include policy changes towards renewable energy, technological advancements, and shifts in industrial demand. These factors could influence the trajectory of coke oven gas consumption further. Additionally, monitoring global energy prices and environmental regulations will offer insights into potential future consumption patterns.
