Annex 2<br />

Data set on biofuel consumption <strong>in</strong><br />

road transport per country, 2005–2011<br />

This data set is restricted to bioethanol or fuel ethanol<br />

and biodiesel used <strong>in</strong> road transport as substitute for<br />

fossil oil products (petrol, diesel or LPG) (see Table A2.1).<br />

Palm oil and solid biomass used <strong>in</strong> stationary combustion<br />

such as power generation was not considered, as it is not<br />

relevant for this study.<br />

Biofuel consumption data on road transport for the<br />

2005–2011 period were used from the follow<strong>in</strong>g sources:<br />

• UNFCCC (2012) for Annex I countries (<strong>in</strong>dustrialised<br />

countries report<strong>in</strong>g <strong>emissions</strong> to the UN Climate<br />

Secretariat, at present data for 1990–2010), except for<br />

Bulgaria, Romania and the United K<strong>in</strong>gdom, that<br />

reported ‘Not Occurr<strong>in</strong>g’ or ‘Not Estimated’, although<br />

other data sources show that these countries do use<br />

road biofuels.<br />

• For Bulgaria and Romania, these data were<br />

supplemented with fuel ethanol and biodiesel<br />

consumption data for over the 2005–2009 period from<br />

Systèmes solaires (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010,2011) and<br />

EBB (2010, 2011).<br />

• Supplemental data for 2011 for the United States,<br />

Germany, the United K<strong>in</strong>gdom and Brazil, compris<strong>in</strong>g<br />

almost 80% of the <strong>global</strong> total consumption were<br />

taken from EIA (2011d), BMU (2012), the United<br />

K<strong>in</strong>gdom (2011, 2012) and Barros (2010, 2011, 2012),<br />

respectively. For n<strong>in</strong>e develop<strong>in</strong>g countries, IEA (2010a)<br />

was used for biofuel consumption <strong>in</strong> 2005–2009. For<br />

four more countries, reported biofuel consumption<br />

was found.<br />

• Various sources were used to obta<strong>in</strong> bioethanol and<br />

biodiesel consumption data for over the 2005–2011<br />

period <strong>in</strong> Brazil and Ch<strong>in</strong>a. Reported consumption data<br />

were used for 2011 for Ch<strong>in</strong>a, India and Argent<strong>in</strong>a.<br />

Where time series were <strong>in</strong>complete for 2011, amounts<br />

were calculated us<strong>in</strong>g the 2008–2011 trend of total <strong>global</strong><br />

biofuel production from BP (2012) for Annex I countries<br />

while country-specific trends for 2008–2011 were used for<br />

selected develop<strong>in</strong>g countries where it could be assumed<br />

that all domestic production was used for domestic<br />

consumption (World Bank, 2010).<br />

Although data for 2005 onwards are presented, only<br />

2008–2011 data are used <strong>in</strong> the CO 2<br />

estimation method<br />

used <strong>in</strong> this study. For years up to 2008, the EDGAR 4.2<br />

data are used, which were calculated with fossil fuel<br />

statistics from the IEA, which are separate from biofuel<br />

data (no mix<strong>in</strong>g with reported oil consumption data as BP<br />

does).<br />
