Abstract
Biodiesel type fuel is widely used on a large scale in most of the European Union. Carbon dioxide is eliminated by combusting biodiesel, but not toxic emissions. Due to the more drastic European ecological demands to reduce the quantity of toxic emissions from automobiles, there is an increased interest to use biodiesel, because it is a bio-degradable and non-polluting fuel. Even by mixing diesel fuel with biodiesel in a percentage of 20%, the emission of toxic gases will be greatly reduced. Vegetable oils used as biofuels are obtained from oleaginous plant crops, without any prejudice to food security. The use of biodiesel can also bring benefits by prolonging the lifetime of diesel engines, ensuring a better lubrication. The paper presents a series of researches on obtaining vegetable oils from various oleaginous seeds (rapeseed, camelina, hemp) using a special installation for producing oils through cold pressing.
Highlights
According to European standards, Romania, together with all European countries, must take measures to replace fossil fuels used in transport with biofuels, which would represent 20% by 2020

Summary
According to European standards, Romania, together with all European countries, must take measures to replace fossil fuels used in transport with biofuels, which would represent 20% by 2020. Given that fuel consumption in transport is steadily increasing, generating significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, widespread use of biofuels is an important solution. It faces several obstacles: in Europe, their cost remains much higher than that of fossil fuels, and their impact on the environment remains limited as they are currently used in limited quantities. Seed processing has seen significant progress in recent years in terms of endowment with high performance machinery, equipment and plant. This has been virtually dictated by qualitative development through continuous improvement of process technologies. Romania has a sufficient land fund to cultivate farmland with oilseeds specific for the production of biofuels, especially rapeseed, hemp and newer cameline (for biokerosene)
