nd ERABEE Workshop - Dublin 8 CURRENT SITUATION AND PERSPECTIVES IN THE BIO-MARKET IN LATVIA The most used forms of renewable energy resources in Latvia are wood and hydroresources, which make up one-third of the balance of Latvian primary energy resources. State policy of renewable energy resources is aimed at promotion of their use. One of the tasks of this policy is to encourage use of biomass in cogeneration plants. Main goals of the policy of renewable energy resources to be achieved are as follows: electricity acquired from renewable energy resources should constitute 49.3% of the total generated volume of electricity in 2010; share of renewable energy resources in the total balance of energy resources should be at least 37%; share of biofuel in power intensity of the total commercialized transport fuel should make up 5.75% in Interest of pertaining companies in development of the new courses in bio- area are dual
