In Latvia rapeseed oil is the most important raw material for RME (rapeseed oil methyl esters) synthesis. It is mainly due to the Latvia’s favorable climate conditions for seed growing and the fact that the quality measurements of produced biodiesel are similar to those of diesel fuel. Even though RME production is ever increasing as it serves as a valuable substitute for the traditional fossil fuel its use can be problematic during winter conditions. The cold filter plugging point of RME is at approximately -10 oC, this is almost 20 oC higher than that of the regular winter diesel fuel.
