During the last years, gasoline consumption, mainly for road transport, has dropped by more than 30% in Greece, while diesel consumption has seen a generally upward trend after 2013. In contrary, consumption of alternative fuels follows a positive trend. However, in 2016, the national use of Renewable Energy Sources in transport was at 1.4%, though the EU average was at 7,1%. The implementation of two National Action sub-Plans for Greece, one regarding the Renewable Energy Sources and the second about Energy Efficiency of Vehicles will boost the use of the alternative fuels and consequently the national production and distribution effort. This paper reviews the energy consumption over a period of years, defines the main pillars and describes the context of a rational energy policy plan for the transport sector.
