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.
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.
Deliveries to inland water transport
Deliveries of heating and other gasoil to all types of inland water transport ships, including deliveries for inland fishing and recreational transport. From 1956 to 1960 all deliveries for final consumption of gasoil for inland water transport are included in deliveries to water transport traders. From 1961 to 1981 this is the case for an unknown part. From 1955 to 1978 all deliveries to bunkers for gasoil for inland water transport are included in deliveries to bunkers for water transport traders. From 1979 onwards this is the case for an unknown part.
