Vanags, J. | Jirgena, H.

Production of biodiesel becomes more significant with every year. It depends not only on fast running short of fossil diesel, but the same importance has the necessity to minimize the greenhouse effect from gas polluting the atmosphere and noxious gas concentration in the nature. The paper presents the situation in Latvia regarding biodiesel production and replacing fossil diesel with biodiesel. There are appropriate conditions for growing rape plants for producing biodiesel in Latvia. Economic environment facilitates fast increase of biodiesel production in Europe as well as in Latvia. The paper presents economic and ecological advantages to increase biodiesel production in Latvia. The authors have determined the trend of rapeseed cultivation and have developed the forecast of biodiesel production corresponding to the European Union regulations and according to the Government program till 2010.
