In 2023, the share of renewable energy sources in transport reached 10.8% at EU level, a 1.2 percentage points (pp) increase from 2022 (9.6%).
This share was 18.2 pp lower than the 29% target for 2030 on the use of energy from renewable sources in transport. Meeting the target would require an annual average increase of 2.6 pp between 2024 and 2030. The average annual increase registered over the years 2014 to 2023 was 0.43 pp.
Sweden was the EU country with the highest share of renewables in transport and the only country already having achieved the 2030 target (33.7%). Ranking second was Finland (20.7%), followed by the Netherlands (13.4%) and Austria (13.2%). By contrast, the lowest shares were registered in Croatia (0.9%), Latvia (1.4%), and Greece (3.9%).
The largest increases in the use of energy from renewables in transport between 2022 and 2023 were recorded in Sweden (+4.9 pp), Austria and Portugal (both +2.5 pp), while the largest decreases were registered in Latvia (-1.7 pp), Croatia (-1.5 pp) and Romania (-0.9 pp).
