Update to estimates of industrial consumption within Energy Consumption in the UK (ECUK)

Summary

The UK's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is addressing outdated methodology in its Energy Consumption in the UK (ECUK) publication, where industrial energy consumption estimates rely on a reference table from the late 2000s. The department is updating this methodology by using more recent data from the UK Emissions Trading Scheme and Climate Change Agreements to create a new reference table. This will improve the accuracy of consumption estimates for specific industrial sectors and introduce breakdowns for bioenergy and waste, with implementation planned for the ECUK 2025 publication.
