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).
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).
Unleaded 95
Unleaded motor gasoline with an octane rating of less than 98.
Super Unleaded 98
Unleaded motor gasoline with an octane rating of more than 98.
Normal (leaded)
Leaded motor gasoline with an octane rating of less than 95.
The data cover the period 1946-1988. After this the motor gasoline contains little or no lead.
Super (leaded)
Leaded motor gasoline with an octane rating of more than 98.
The data cover the period 1946-1996. After this the motor gasoline contains little or no lead.
Air transport
All passenger air and freight air transport.
Aviation gasoline
Fuel for aircraft with a piston engine. These are often light aircraft with a propeller.
Gasoline type jet fuel
Fuel for aircraft with a jet engine.

It is a blend of lighter motor gasoline, heavier kerosene and sometimes naphtha. From 1988 onwards it is no longer delivered to final consumers.
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.

Super unleaded 98
Unleaded motor gasoline with an octane rating of more than 98.
Normal (leaded)
Leaded motor gasoline with an octane rating of less than 95.
The data cover the period 1946-1988. After this the motor gasoline contains little or no lead.

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.
