Explanation of symbols

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.

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.

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.

Deliveries to sea transport: Deliveries of gasoil to all types of sea transport ships. Up to 2007 there are no figures for domestic consumption and deliveries to sea fishing and piloting are included in international transport. From 2007 onwards deliveries to sea fishing and piloting are included in domestic production, in accordance with international energy consumption guidelines. 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.

Deliveries to water transport traders: Deliveries of heating and other gasoil to water transport traders. From 1956 to 1960 all deliveries for consumption of gasoil for inland water transport and fishing 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.

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.

Total fuel oil: Total of low-sulphur and high-sulphur fuel oil.
For the period 1955-2006 fishing is included in the deliveries of fuel oil for water transport.

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).

Rail transport

All passenger and freight transport by rail, like train, tram and metro. Excludes transport on own premises.
Trolley buses are included in road 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.

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.
