Table explanation
This table provides information on deliveries of motor fuels for transport in the Netherlands. Deliveries are either for consumption in the Netherlands and international road transport, which is called final consumption, or for international sea and air transport, which is traditionally called bunkering.
The table gives figure for all modes of transport. Agricultural and mobile equipment is excluded. Figures for relevant motor fuels are given by transport category. Pure biofuels for road transport are not included in this table. Blended biofuels are included in the deliveries of motor gasoline and transport diesel. Biofuels are products produced from agricultural crops.
Deliveries of motor fuels are expressed by energy (petajoules) and physical units (million kg or million kWh). Deliveries for road transport are also published in volume (million litres). This table includes figures (in petajoules) on total transport, total road transport, total water transport, total air transport and total rail transport. This is not possible for physical units, due to different units (e.g. kg and kWh) are not countable.
Data available from:
From 1946 up to and including August 2016
Status of the figures:
All figures from 1946 to December 2013 are definite.
Figures from January 2014 onwards are provisional.
Changes as of 2 December 2016
None, this table has been stopped. For more information see section 3.
When will new figures be published?
Not applicable.
Description topics
- Motor fuels for transport petajoule
- Amounts of substances, expressed in petajoules, combusted for the propulsion of vehicles transporting persons or goods, including motor gasoline, transport diesel, kerosene, natural gas, electricity and fuel oil. Pure biofuels for road transport are not included in this table. Blended biofuels are included in the deliveries of motor gasoline and transport diesel.
A joule is a unit of energy equivalent to 0.24 calories. A Petajoule (PJ) equals 1,000,000,000,000,000 joules (10 to the power of 15) and is equivalent to 31.6 million cubic metres of natural gas or 278 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.- Road transport
- All passenger and freight transport on public road by car, auto bus, goods vehicle, motorcycle, moped, etc.
Excludes transport on own premises and consumption of mobile equipment, such as tractors and mobile machinery for construction (which typically do not operate on public roads).- Total road transport
- Total deliveries of motor fuels for road transport, namely automotive LPG, motor gasoline, transport diesel, natural gas and electricity.
- Water transport
- All passenger and freight water transport, like inland water and sea water transport. Excludes fishing.
For the period 1955-1960 fishing is included in the deliveries of gasoil to water transport.- Total water transport
- Total deliveries of motor fuels for water transport, namely gasoil and fuel oil.
- Air transport
- All passenger air and freight air transport.
- Total air transport
- Total deliveries of motor fuels for air transport, namely kerosene type jet fuel, aviation gasoline and gasoline type jet fuel.
- Motor fuels transport physical units
- Amounts of substances, expressed in million kg or million m3, combusted for the propulsion of vehicles transporting persons or goods, including motor gasoline, transport diesel, kerosene, natural gas, electricity and fuel oil. Pure biofuels for road transport are not included in this table. Blended biofuels are included in the deliveries of motor gasoline and transport diesel.
- Water transport
- All passenger and freight water transport, like inland water and sea water transport. Excludes fishing.
For the period 1955-1960 fishing is included in the deliveries of gasoil to water transport.- Heating and other gasoil
- Oil for use outside road transport, for example for lighter ship engines, diesel trains and other diesel engines, such those as used in agriculture and construction. The distillation range of heating gasoil lies between 180 and 380 degrees Celsius, for other gasoil the boiling point is up to 540 degrees Celsius. Other gasoil is mainly used in manufacturing. Gasoil used in agriculture is also called red diesel, a reference to the dye added to indicate no excise is due on it. The properties are almost identical to transport diesel.
- Total heating and other gasoil
- Total of deliveries for use in inland water transport, sea transport and water transport traders. For the period 1955-1960 fishing is included in the deliveries of gasoil to water transport.
- Fuel oil
- Heavy oil which remains after the distillation in the refinery. For use mainly as fuel in cross-border shipping (bunkers), but also in industry and the production of electricity and heat.
- Low-sulphur fuel oil
- Fuel oil with a sulphur content of 1 percent or less.
For use mainly as fuel in cross-border shipping (bunkers), but also in industry and the production of electricity and heat.
- High-sulphur fuel oil
- Fuel oil with a sulphur content of more than 1 percent.
For use mainly as fuel in cross-border shipping (bunkers).
- Air transport
- All passenger air and freight air transport.
- Kerosene type jet fuel
- Fuel for aircraft with an aviation turbine power unit.
Kerosene is a medium heavy oil with a distillation range between 150 and 300 degrees Celsius. Certain specifications make it suitable for use in aviation.
- Motor fuels transport by volume
- Amounts of substances, expressed in million litres, combusted for the propulsion of vehicles transporting persons or goods, including automotive LPG, motor gasoline and transport diesel. Pure biofuels for road transport are not included in this table. Blended biofuels are included in the deliveries of motor gasoline and transport diesel.
- Automotive LPG
- Motor fuel consisting of propane and butane. Often called LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). In summer, the proportion propane/butane is about 60:40, in winter 70:30.
- Motor gasoline
- Fuel for spark ignition engines of cars. It is a mixture of light oils and additives.
The light oil in motor gasoline normally consists of molecules with five to twelve carbon atoms. The distillation range lies between 35 and 215 degrees Celsius. Additives are additions to modify fuel properties and to reduce CO2 emissions from motor gasoline.- Total motor gasoline
- Total of the motor fuels unleaded 95 and super unleaded 98 (both unleaded) and normal and super (both leaded).
- Transport diesel
- Fuel for diesel engines for road transport (cars and goods vehicles). Called diesel at the petrol station.
- Total transport diesel
- Total of low-sulphur and high-sulphur transport diesel.
