8.2 Industrial machinery<br />
8.2.1 Fuel <strong>consumption</strong><br />
Fork lifts account for approximately half the <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> in this category (Fig. 38,<br />
top). These appliances are <strong>fuel</strong>led by diesel <strong>and</strong> petrol, but some are also powered by<br />
gas (mainly propane). Due to their large size, snow groomers account for a high level<br />
of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> (15,700 tonnes p.a.), even though they only represent 4% of the<br />
inventory.<br />
Development of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> from 1980 to 2020<br />
The <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> of industrial machinery more than doubled in the period from<br />
1980 to 2000 (Fig. 38, bottom). A slight reduction in <strong>consumption</strong> is anticipated for the<br />
next few years.
