Dataset is not available.
This table provides information on deliveries of motor fuels for transport and other customers 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 and Agricultural and mobile equipment. 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.
Since 2013, low-duty red diesel no longer sold. The customers of these red diesel, such as construction and agriculture, have since been obliged to fill the high-duty diesel also consumed by road transport. Until August 2016 was a month made a model-based estimate of the share of road transport in the use of diesel. This model-based estimation is no longer considered responsible for determining monthly figures. The difference in consumption of diesel between road transport and other consumers in the tables by month is therefore lapsed. On an annual basis, the difference in consumption of diesel between road transport and other consumers will be published in the following table: 'Energy balance sheet; supply and consumption, sector'.
Data available from:
From 1946.
Status of the figures:
This table contains definite figures until 2018 and provisional from January 2019.
Since this table is discontinued, the figures will not become definite.
Changes as of 30 July 2021:
None; this table is discontinued.
When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable.
This table is succeeded by 'Crude and petroleum products balance sheet; supply and consumption'. See section 3.
Description topics
- Motor fuels in petajoule
- Amounts of substances, expressed in petajoules, combusted for the propulsion of vehicles transporting persons or goods, mobile- and none mobile equipment, 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 and other consumers
- All passenger and freight transport on public road by car, auto bus, goods vehicle, motorcycle, moped, etc. Includes 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. 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 petrol 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 petrol 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 physical units
- Amounts of substances, expressed in million kg or million m3, combusted for the propulsion of vehicles transporting persons or goods and mobile- and none mobile equipment, including motor gasoline, 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.

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