Under the program, Belarus will be making 120,000 tonnes of methyl ether annually starting 2010. The main contractors are OAO Grodno Azot and OAO Mogilevkhimvolokno, which will produce 60,000 tonnes of ether each.
The biofuel unit at Grodno Azot also makes up to 2,000 tonnes of by-products annually, especially fatty acid ethers and glycerin. «We will thus have a non-waste industry,» Ushkevich said. Glycerin prices have reached $500 per tonne on the world market recently.
