In 2023, Germany led European countries in the final consumption of blended biodiesels for rail transport, totaling 57.34 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. France followed significantly lower at 15.31, with the Czech Republic at 9.87. Notable growth was observed in Germany and Lithuania, with increases of 20.8% and 16.11% respectively. In contrast, Latvia and Greece experienced declines, with Greece notably dropping by 67.49%. The five-year compound annual growth rate highlights strong increases in Germany and Lithuania, indicating a robust trajectory for blended biodiesel utilization in rail transport.
Future trends to monitor include the expansion of Germany and the Czech Republic's biodiesel infrastructure, and policy shifts in France and Lithuania that might stimulate usage. Additionally, the rising interest in sustainable rail transport options across Europe could drive further adoption of blended biodiesels, particularly if technological advancements lead to more efficient production and use.
