Abstract
In this paper we presented the concept model of the calculation tool for balancing energy and carbon dioxide in the production and use of biofuels. This model is based on life-cycle analysis, and covers all stages of the manufacture and processing of raw materials for biofuels, and the extraction of energy. The purpose of the model and calculation tool is to assess whether the biofuel produced in a number of processes can be called a renewable energy source in the full sense of the word, and whether its production and use makes sense from an energy point of view.
