The paper discusses the characteristics of biofuels used in transport, along with concise description of production technology thereof. Preferable direction of development for those technologies is presented, taking into consideration also other resources, including waste substances and carbon dioxide. WtL and xTL processes
are characterised. The objectives and preferred technologies of biofuel production are outlined, as defined by European Strategic Research Agenda and Technology Roadmap ? Biofuels for Transport, developed by International Energy Agency.

Keywords: biofuels, WtL and xTL processes, research strategy
