Summary/Abstract: Bio-fuel, used for production of thermal energy, is one of the most important renewable energy sources in Lithuania. The use of this energy source is determined by Lithuania‘s commitments to the European Union and the energetic policy carried out by the state, which encourages the use and replenishment of renewable energy sources. The article consists of three parts, which analyze the teritorial distribution of potential biofuel resources, i.e. short-rotation energy crops, realized forest products in Lithuania‘s forestry enterprises, and use of bio-fuel for production of thermal energy for Lithuania‘s centralized heating systems in 2012.
