UKIFDA databank: industry data update January 2025

UKIFDA’s databank brings together recently published government and other third-party data concerning the distribution of liquid fuels in the UK.

Data

In this edition, we concentrate on detailed monthly energy consumption data to the end of September 2024. Kerosene sales are shown as total kerosene sales (with a detailed split between domestic and commercial scheduled for the next update).

Where comments are made regarding comparative differences, they are UKIFDA comments borne from conversations with third parties. Prior year period data has been updated by the Government and may, therefore, differ from previous UKIFDA reports.

This report reviews data for the following:
