Mobility Monitor 2022

For: NOVE – Netherlands Business Association for Independent Fuel Suppliers

[November 2022 – February 2023]

For NOVE studio Gear Up developed an annual Mobility Monitor that shows development in fleet volumes and expected fuel demand over time. February 2023 the most recent Monitor was published.

The Monitor consists of two main topics:

  • Developments in the new sales and vehicle fleet volume for passenger cars, vans and heavy duty vehicles in the Netherlands towards 2030, 2035 and 2050, and
  • expected volumes of various fuels and energy carriers in the Netherlands transport market, based on these sales and fleet developments and based on the existing and adopted policy measures to mitigate the climate impact in the sector. the fuel scenarios provide overviews of the expected situation in 2025, 2030 and 2035.

The information is based on public sources that provide monthly overview information of ICEV and BEV sales, by RVO, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, as well as the annual Energy and Climate Exploration by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency

The Mobility Monitor helps the members of NOVE to estimate their next years fuel and energy carrier volumes.

More information (in Dutch) can be found at NOVEs website.

Analysis of SAF allowances (FEETS) – 2024-price update

February 2025, the European Commission adopted a new support mechanism on ‘SAF allowances’: used to bridge the price gap for the use of alternative fuels to accelerate the roll out of SAF.
We reviewed this mechanism in order to assess its expected impact on supporting the development of SAF market. We conclude that the policy design would require additional policy instruments to support the broader development of the SAF market.

Current POME-based biofuels in EU fall within current production potential 

According to studio Gear Up’s numerical analysis, the current volume of POME-biofuels deployed in the EU are in the range of current production volumes of POME residues. We advise to keep a close look on the future volumes of POME-based biofuels, given the upper limits of production. Strengthening the information position of renewable fuels supply chains with more frequent auditing and historical data of POME-oil production are needed.

SAF allowances may not be the best instrument to ramp up SAF production

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are renewable fuels that replace fossil based kerosine in aircrafts and are seen as an important option to mitigate climate emissions in the aviation sector. Generally, these alternative fuels are more expensive than their fossil counterpart, kerosene. In order to support the uptake of SAF, the European Commission has introduced several policy instruments.
