Table explanation
This table shows the supply and consumption of petroleum products and crudes as a balance sheet.
Petroleum products include the fuels LPG, motor gasoline and diesel oil. The balance includes products used for processing or consumption in the Netherlands as well as those intended for transit.
Crudes are crude oil, natural gas liquids and additives (intermediates for motor gasoline and transport diesel). Separate balance sheet items are available for feedstocks for processing in the Netherlands and for feedstocks for the transit trade. The difference between the two flows is that import tax is paid for products destined for production in the Netherlands, while it is not paid for transit goods.
The following standard densities are used to convert from kg to liters of Gasoline, Diesel and Autogas delivered including excise duty:
Petrol 0.75 kg/l, Diesel 0.836 kg/l and LPG 0.535 kg/l.

Data available:
From January 2015
Status of the figures:
- up to and including 2023 definite.
- 2024 is revised provisional.
- 2025 are provisional.
Changes as of February 24th 2026:
Figures added for December 2025.
Changes as of January 30th 2026:
Figures added for November 2025.
Changes as of December 24th 2025:
Figures added for October 2025.
Changes as of November 26th 2025:
Figures added for September 2025.
Changes as of November 18th 2025:
Figures for 2025 have been updated. Figures from 2015 up to and including 2024 have been revised. The revision primarily concerns improved data on gas/diesel oil consumption by mobile equipment in the construction and services sectors. These changes amount to a few PJ. This revision has also affected road transport diesel consumption, which from that year onwards is determined as total taxable supply of gas/diesel oil minus supply of taxable gas/diesel oil to other sectors. Similar adjustments have been made for gasoline.
When will new figures be published?
Provisional figures: in the second month after the month under review.
Definite figures: not later than in the second following December.
Description topics
- Supply
- The amount of crudes and petroleum products that has primarily become available for consumption in the Netherlands. Supply is calculated as indigenous production plus other sources plus production plus imports minus exports minus bunkers plus stock changes. This calculation of the supply results in the amount of crudes and petroleum products consumed in the Netherlands in the period concerned.
- Other sources
- This item is the calculation of indigenous production plus imports minus exports of bioadditives.
- Production
- Production of petroleum products by transforming crude or other petroleum products, e.g. production of motor gasoline by refining crude oil.
- Other oil companies
- Companies storing or trading petroleum products. In common these companies blend petroleum products just before they are delivered to the market. For example addition more or less additives to motor gasoline or transport diesel to meet summer or winter specifications.
- Consumption
- The amount of crudes and petroleum products used for transformation into other petroleum products or as final consumption within the national borders of the Netherlands.
- For transformation in products
- The amount of crudes and petroleum products used as feedstock for transformation into other petroleum products, e.g. distillation of fuel oil in a refinery. Or products are blended into other products, like propane and butane into automotive gas.
- Other oil industry
- Other oil companies petroleum transformation. An other oil company is a company that stores or trades petroleum products. In common these companies blend petroleum products just before they are delivered to the market. For example addition more or less additives to motor gasoline or transport diesel to meet summer or winter specifications.
- Other transformations
- Input of petroleum products to produce other energy commodities, like electricity or heat.
- Final consumption
- Final consumption of energy. No useful energy commodity remains. This can be final energy consumption, like motor gasoline in a car, or non energy use, like naphtha in petrochemical industry.
- Final consumption other oil industry
- Consumption for heating very heavy oil fractions (bitumen, tar) in order to be able to pump them.
- Other consumers
- The amount of petroleum products delivered to retail and other final consumers. Includes consumption by agriculture, construction, defence, services and other consumers, e.g. bitumen (asphalt) for roof covering, white spirits as a thinner in paint or lubricant oil in equipment and motors.
- Stocks held for other countries
- Stocks held in the Netherlands for other OECD countries under bilateral agreement for their strategic stocks obligation.
