In 2015, passenger vehicles was the mode of transportation that consumed the largest volume of biofuels in the world, at around 58 million barrels of oil equivalent. These projections were made under the sustainable development scenario* indicated that this tendency will remain similar, however other modes of transportation are expected increase or entirely begin consuming biofuels, such as shipping and aviation.
Biofuel consumption volume worldwide in the sustainable development scenario from 2015 to 2030 by mode of transport (in million barrels of oil equivalent)*
* The Sustainable Development Scenario is aligned with the objectives set in the Paris Agreement, and considers a temperature rise below 1.8 degrees Celsius, and a drop in carbon dioxide emissions from 50 billion metric tons in 2018, to less than 10 billion metric tons by 2050.
