The British agricultural sector has a high final energy consumption of fossil fuels. As of 2020, agriculture had a final energy demand of 473 thousand metric tons of oil equivalent of petroleum products and 84 thousand metric tons of oil equivalent worth of natural gas. These figures are expected to increase and reach 967 thousand and 90 thousand metric tons of oil equivalent by 2040, respectively. However, the sector's final energy consumption from renewables sources is expected to remain relatively stable during the period in consideration.
