Note: Oil-derived fuels cover all fuels excluding biodiesel, biogas, biogasoline, electrical energy, natural gas and solid biofuels. In 2016, oil-derived fuels accounted for 95 % of all fuels consumed. At 3 % of total energy consumption, biodiesel was the largest source of non-oil-derived fuels, while rail electricity was second at 1 %.
The '70 % reduction from 2008 oil consumption' is a goal that applies to the 28 EU Member States and that relates to an impact assessment that accompanied the European Commission’s Transport White Paper (EC, 2011a), which in turn suggested that a 70 % reduction (from 2008 levels) in oil consumption in transport should be achieved by 2050.
