  • ​2017 yet another record year for biofuels

    Based on energy content, biofuels accounted for 20.8 percent of all fuels supplied for vehicle operations in Sweden in 2017. Biodiesel amounted to 26.6 percent of all diesel fuel, and a total of 19.5 TWh of biofuels was used, an increase from 17.2 TWh for 2016 according to preliminary statistics from SCB and compiled by Svebio.

  • The rapid growth of biofuels in Sweden in recent years is mainly attributed to the increased use of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) diesel, a renewable diesel made from different bio-based raw materials.
