ENERGY TRANSITION OUTLOOK 2018
Changes in how the UK economy uses energy UK primary energy consumption has fallen by around 18% since 2008. 1 There have been significant advances in some industrial processes, heating and lighting. But these efficiencies have been partially offset in the UK by continued economic and population growth mirroring wider global trends. The chart below shows the main elements of energy demand in 2017. Overall, demand for oil and gas in the UK was around 140–150 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe) per year – a 15% reduction since 2008 – compared with total UK production of 90 mtoe.
