Rape production and the utilisation of biodiesel

It can be stated that if cold-pressed plant oil met the requirements of the regulations, nothing could hinder its utilisation, and the income tax rebate owed to agriculture could not be denied either. The cold-pressed plant oil produced in Hungary meets the requirements of the DIN 51 605 standard and is, for example, legally recognised and usable in Germany. It is easy to see that with the naturalization of rape oil’s above mentioned standard, significant quantities of fuel would be redeemable. This would not only meet the requirements of environmentally responsible farming, but would also greatly improve Hungary’s energy dependency.
