The increasing related ambient concerns to the emissions of atmospheric pollutants for fuels, alternative sources of energy are having bigger attention, mainly those that contribute in the mitigation of these emissions. Being thus, the use of the biodiesel produced by the etherification of vegetal oils with methanol and ethanol, are seen as present interesting alternative. The energy analysis of the relation of the energy onslaught in the production of biodiesel can contribute as tool for a posterior formularization of pointers of the technician-economic and ambient viability in the comparison between the different oleaginous, as form to diagnosis one better type of culture for the production of biodiesel. The objectives of this work is to carry the energy analysis in the production of the Palm Oil Biodiesel, for the conditions of Brazil and Colombia, as well as showing the differences between the results found for the two cases. The presented results are shown through comparative graphs for the two cases and with the final energy balance for each company.
