Petroleum products recorded the highest final energy consumption in 2015, at 49.7 million metric tons of oil equivalent. However, petroleum products consumption is expected to decrease until 2040, while natural gas consumption is projected to grow and surpass petroleum products' demand. In 2040, the United Kingdom's final energy consumption from natural gas is forecasted to reach 46.1 million metric tons of oil equivalent.
