The bar chart illustrates the percentage of fuel derived from renewable sources that was used in the transport sector in six EU countries – Slovakia, Austria, France, Poland, Spain and Greece – together with the EU average in 2009 and 2010.
Overall, Slovakia recorded the highest proportion in both years, whereas Greece consistently maintained the lowest share by a significant margin. Generally, all countries except Slovakia experienced a notable increase in the utilization of renewable energy sources throughout the period.
In 2009, Slovakia topped the group with approximately 9%, although its figure declined slightly to around 8% in 2010. Austria held the second position, experiencing a minor drop from about 6.5% to 5%. In contrast, France remained steady at just over 6%, whereas Poland increased from 5% to nearly 6%.
Spain experienced a significant increase, rising from approximately 3% in 2009 to nearly 5% in 2010. Greece recorded the lowest figures, although its percentage almost doubled from about 1% to 2%. The EU average stood at around 4.5% in 2009 and rose slightly to approximately 5% the following year.
