+ 6.8 % The increase of biofuels consumption for transport in the EU28 between 2018 and 2019 (in energy content)
Last year, biofuel consumption used in transport in the European Union of 28 increased by just over 1.1 million tonnes oil equivalent (Mtoe). According to EurObserv’ER, it should stabilize at 17.8 Mtoe in 2019, as against 16.7 Mtoe in 2018, which is a 6.8% increase. This growth is directly linked to the increase in certain member countries’ incorporation mandates, through policies implemented to achieve the binding 10% target of renewable energies in the transport sector by the end of 2020.
