Abstract
The aim of the research was to estimate emissions and greenhouse gas reductions resulting in the full
life cycle of biofuels and to determine what effect on the reduction of GHG emissions will have when taking
into account the additional issue related to the implementation of ILUC. It was found that the production of
bioethanol, ensuring compliance with the criteria of sustainable production and acquisition (including ILUC)
GHG emission reduction ≥ 50% is possible with wheat and corn crops production with traditional ploughing
with crop residues incorporation. Obtaining minimum of 50% reduction from 2017 in the biodiesel production
requires the oilseed cultivation with reduced tillage system, along with leaving the straw on the field.
