Abstract

In the Czech Republic, 40% of biodiesel is made from waste oils and fats. Despite this fact, all of this biodiesel is being exported, even though the same amount of indifferent biodiesel is being imported. Is the biodiesel imported made from fresh or waste raw material? Why the Czech Republic does not utilize domestic second-generation biodiesel, though it subscribes to the Paris Agreement? Especially when the pressure to decreasing CO2 emissions is in the western world so seriously taken. This short discussion aims to initiate an important polemic about how the Czech Republic is going to meet always updating standards in decreasing the GHG.
