Table explanation
This table contains data on liquid biofuels for transport. It covers supply and use of biofuels and the amount of biofuels that is blended in ordinary gasoline and diesel. Also, data on the production capacity are included.
Data are available for both the total biofuels and two separate kinds of biofuels for transport: biogasoline and biodiesel.
Supply of biofuels is equal to the sum of production, net imports and stock changes. For net imports and stock changes figures are broken down into pure biofuels and blended biofuels. The use of biofuels is set equal to the deliveries of the oil companies to the petrol stations in the Netherlands. To a large extent, these deliveries concern biofuels that are blended in ordinary gasoline and diesel and, therefore, these biofuels cannot be recognised any more at the petrol stations. Use of biofuels is given in four units: million kg, million litres, terajoules and as biocomponent of total use in terms of energy of motor gasoline and diesel for transport.
Data available from:
2003 until 2018.

Description topics
- Consumption
- It is assumed that consumption is equal to the deliveries of the oil companies to the petrol stations in the Netherlands. Mostly, these deliveries concern biofuels that are blended in ordinary gasoline and transport diesel. So, these biofuels cannot be recognized any more at the petrol stations.
- Total pure and blended
- Energy
- TJ = TeraJoule. Tera is a one with twelve zeros.
