This table contains figures on the supply and consumption of biofuels and the amount of biofuels that are blended into ordinary petrol and diesel. There are also figures on the production capacity of biofuels. The figures are available both for the total biofuels and for the two types of biofuels used in road traffic and mobile equipment, namely bio gasoline and biodiesel.

The supply of biofuels on the domestic market is equal to the sum of production, the import balance (net imports) and the stock movements of biofuels minus bunkers for transport abroad. The import balance also distinguishes between pure and blended biofuels.

Consumption is equated with deliveries from oil companies to pumping stations in the Netherlands. For the most part, the deliveries are biofuels that have been blended into ordinary diesel and petrol and are therefore no longer recognizable as biofuels.

Data available from:
2006, annually

Status of the figures:
This table contains definite figures up to and including 2021, revised provisional figures for 2022 and 2023.

Changes as of 7 June 2024:
Revised provisional figures of 2023 have been added.

Changes as of 14 November 2023:
Figures of 2021 and 2022 have been updated and are now respectively definite and revised provisional. Also figures of 2022 have been expanded with a new category "Bio jet kerosene"

Changes as of 15th of June 2023:
Revised provisional figures of 2022 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
Revised provisional figures for the previous year appear in June each year.
Definite figures for the previous year appear in December each year and also new updates of the revised provisional figures will be adjusted.

Description topics

Supply
Total amount of biofuels for transport offered for consumption on the domestic market. The total supply is by definition equal to the total consumption.
The supply is calculated as production plus import balance (net import) plus stock movements minus bunkers.
Production
It concerns the production of pure biofuels.
Production capacity
The maximum possible production per year of the producers of pure biofuels for transport. This production capacity is measured at the end of the year under review.
