Supply and demand

Bio-based gasoline production in Italy has seen significant growth in recent years. In 2023, production reached 41,168 tonnes, doubling the output from 2017. This increase was driven by the country’s commitment to EU renewable energy targets, advancements in bio-refining technologies, a focus on circular economy practices.

Bio-based gasoline consumption in Italy remained stable until 2022 but saw a significant increase in 2023, reaching 91,647 tonnes. This increase was primarily driven by the introduction of a bio-based gasoline blending obligation of 0.5% in 2023, with targets set to escalate to 3% by 2025.
