Sweden leads the way in green transport


In 2022, the share of renewable energy sources in the transport sector reached 9.6% on the EU level, a 0.5% increase compared with 2021 (9.1%), but still 0.7% below the highest level ever reached in 2020 (10.3%). This means that a major push is required to meet the 29% climate target set for 2030, the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat) said.

 

Sweden (29.2%) is the EU country with by far the highest share of renewables in transport and has already achieved the EU’s energy target for 2030. Finland (18.8%) also shows a very high proportion of green fuels.

 

The Netherlands, Malta, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Germany, and Spain have a share of around 10%. The lowest shares were registered in Croatia (2.4%), Latvia (3.1%), and Greece (4.1%). (ben)
