Current state and prospects of use of alternative fuels, made from biomass in western countries and in Poland have been presented. Progress in technology - more effective synthesis process and economical, agro-political, and ecological reasons give strong motivation for using oil plants as a raw material in fuels and lubricating oils manufacture.
