Transport Biofuels Team of the Institute for Renewable Energy, in co-operation with the Biogas Team offers the following services:

• Market reports concerning transport biofuels (updated once a trimester)
• Strategic analysis of transport biofuels sectors and the co-operating sectors
• Prognosis concerning transport biofuels
• Preparation of initial feasibility studies for new installations for the production of biodiesel and updating/improving of distilleries concerning the production of raw spirit and the usage of bioethanol
• Preparation and realization of local, regional and national promotion campaigns concerning transport biofuels
• Analysis of raw material demands for the production of biofuels and solutions concerning waste utilization and joining/integration of biofuels production processes with the biogas production processes
• Preparation of proposals concerning investment refinancing (dotations and preferential credits from the European Union fund and national ecology fund) for the institutions financing.
