We don't have that data, only rough totals.
Interesting that France seems to be consuming a lot more juice at the same time of night yet their population is similar to the UK no??
Anyone thinking of installing heat exchange pump for central heating...think again

I think, but dont quote me, that 8.5 Gw is equivalent to approx 30% of installed capacity.

Where do you get the data?
France's population is probably a bit higher tonight as the rough seas will have stopped the boats for a day.

Correct - both very similar population.
Can't understand the reason that could be - are we more urbanised?

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil can only be made from a green feedstock, but it cannot be classed as an advanced renewable when virgin oil is used, furthermore oil seed crops tend to be relatively inefficient from a land perspective, the option might be algae, but the process of harvesting the oil is pretty energy intensive. From an engine performance-to-cost basis it's pretty difficult to beat.
Its relatively straight-forward to create a synthetic "crude" from municipal waste, that can be used as a low carbon feedstock at a refinery.
The synthetic process from captured CO2 and hydrogen from electrolysis are gaining pace now, the first plant in Chile (Haru Oni) is due to start producing gasoline next year.
