Abstract: Romania depends heavily upon conventional energy resources. Biofuels obtained from edible crops are already being used in diesel engines. These biofuels increase fuel security at the expense of food security. This problem can be solved by using non edible crops to produce biofuel. Jatropha is a non edible crop whose oil is used to produce biodiesel. Power consumption, equipment, climate conditions, time period and economic resources are the factors of influence for financial analysis. Economic analysis of using jatropha oil as a substitute to diesel fuel is done by using RETscreen software.
