More information

The dash (-) marks fuel types or grades without any sales.

The zero marks sales of fuel types or grades below 1 million litres.

The Research Octane Number (RON) is an indication of the performance of petrol fuel in the engine. Higher RON numbers indicate that the fuel can withstand higher compression ratios in the combustion chamber before ignition.

Explanation of fuel grades

  • E0 indicates petrol without ethanol content.
  • E5 are biofuel petrol blends with up to 5 % ethanol content.
  • E10 are biofuel petrol blends with up to 10 % ethanol content. 
  • E+ are biofuel petrol blends with > 10 % ethanol content.


  • B7 are biodiesel blends with up to 7 % fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). 
  • B+ are biodiesel blends of > 7 % FAME. 


Details on the different greenhouse gas intensities of biofuels, information about their feedstock, production pathways and indirect land use change (ILUC) impacts can be found here.
