The paper presents the short survey of production and use of motor biofuels in Latvia. Latvia is rich in agricultural lands, but a very large of agricultural lands nowadays still remines uncultivated. Under these circumstances the biofuel production resource potential of Latvia is very good. Small quantities of biodiesel - 2.5 thousand tons annually, have been started to produce since the end of 2001, but the development of production and use of biofuels goes very slowly due to different economical, legislative and psychological barriers. This paper summarizes the main results of our study on the introduction of biofuels in motor vehicles and the identification of policy measures in support of the promotion of biofuels and other renewable fuels in accordance with the Directive 2003/30/EC and the further policy measures for developing biofuels in Latvia.
