1.5.2 IPCC emissions
Sales of motor fuels
Statistics Netherlands reports total sales of petrol, diesel and LPG to road traffic in CBS-StatLine in the
table ‘Motor fuels for transport; deliveries ’ (in Dutch only). A description of the survey can be found in
Crude oil and petroleum products.
The sales of biofuels, which are included in the total sales, are published in Statline separately (also in
English).
N.B. In the road traffic IPCC figures, the CO2 emission from the combustion of biofuels is excluded.
A subdivision according to road traffic categories cannot be made based on the data used by Statistics
Netherlands. In the IPCC method, these total sales are disaggregated according to the various road
traffic categories in accordance with their share in energy consumption (see Section 1.5.1). Note that
total greenhouse gas emissions due to road traffic in the IPCC method are therefore related to total
fuel sales. However, when the energy consumption by road traffic is compared with the energy sales
to road traffic, there are differences. The reasons for these differences are the following:
stockpiling is included in sales;
both approaches (consumption and sales) contain statistical inaccuracies;
in calculating the energy consumption, specific vehicle categories were not included that are
included in the sales figures. This concerns military vehicles and foreign diplomatic vehicles;
" fuel purchases at the border". This concerns fuel purchased in the Netherlands (included in
sales) that is used abroad (not included in consumption) or fuel purchased abroad (not
included in sales) that is used in the Netherlands (included in consumption).
These items cause an absolute difference per year, but due to the nature of the differences (such as
fuel purchases at the border and stockpiling), the increase or decrease from year to year between
energy consumption and energy sales also differs.
