Biofuels Aspects in Romania

Abstract

Presently, in Romania, the cultivated area with plants for biofuel production represents 1,6% of the arable surface of the country, about 150 000 ha (in 2008). With an adequate promotion of the production technologies and usage of biofuel, at farm level, Romania could cover up to 8 % of the European need. 
 Although there is an arable potential, and also there are the crops suitable for it (rape, soybean, sunflower, corn) Romania produces much less under the energetic potential it has.
 Regarding the future of biofuel there are investments in the domain, in the phase of project.
