Industrial Energy Consumption

.Anna Martin.24th February 2005

Current Industrial Energy Consumption

• Industrial energy consumption accounted for more than a fifth of all UK energy consumption in 2003.

• 34,634 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent were consumed in 2003 (1593 PJ). That’s a 4% decrease since 2001.

• In 2003, the largest sub-sector was the chemicals industry accounting for 22% of all industrial energy consumption.

Main industrial sub-sector groups

2. Chemicals

3. Metal products, machinery and equipment

4. Food, beverages and tobacco.6. Other industries

5. Paper, printing and publishing

7. Unclassified i.e. Renewables and waste

1. Iron and steel and non-ferrous metals

Total Industrial Energy Consumption, 1970 to 2003

• - 44% since 1970, - 10% since 1990.

• + 4% 1996 to 2001, but back to - 3% 2001 to 2003.

Conclusions

• 1394 PJ of energy required by 2030 if current trends continue.

• If see increase in renewable energies i.e wind power, then industrial energy consumption will considerably increase. (1820 PJ)

• Future reduction in energy intensity depends upon the structure, efficiency and technologies used.
