Russia could use sawdust to fuel airplanesRussia may start using biofuel made from sawdust to power aircraft, Deputy Transport Minister Valery Okulov said on Tuesday. "We have a country full of forests and plenty of sawdust; why not make biofuel from it as an alternative source of energy," he told a news conference hosted by RIA Novosti. 13 November 2010 Êîììåíòàðèè: 1 Production of biodiesel fuel in Belarus up 67.2% in January-SeptemberBy the end of the year the Belneftekhim companies will manufacture over 780,000 tonnes, BelTA learnt from the Belneftekhim concern. Grodno Azot, Mogilev Khimvolokno and Belshina produce biodiesel fuel within the framework of the national biodiesel fuel program for 2007-2010. 13 November 2010 UZBEKISTAN - The Biofuel OptionUzbekistan stands a good chance of becoming a major producer of biofuels, which could play an ever-increasing role in its energy sector. Unlike Brazil, where biofuel is made mainly from sugar-cane or the US where it is distilled from corn, Uzbekistan's ace resource is an indigenous plant, Camelina sativa. Of the former Soviet Caucasian and Central Asian republics, those clustered around the shores of the Caspian Sea and Aral Seas have seen their economies boom because of record-high energy prices, while Uzbekistan, Kyrghyzstan and Tadjikistan have large potentials from this plant which is found in abundance in the three landlocked countries. 13 November 2010 Majilis approved a bill on state regulation of production and turnover of bio-fuelsMajilis of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the plenary session endorsed the proposals of the conciliation commission to overcome the differences between the chambers of Parliament on the draft law "On state regulation of production and turnover of bio-fuels" and "On introducing amendments and addenda to some legislative acts Republic of Kazakhstan on state regulation of production and turnover of bio-fuels." 30 September 2010 US ethanol prices rise on Russian wheat banUS ethanol prices jumped USD 0.07 (EUR 0.05) in early trade yesterday after Russia, one of the world's top wheat exporters, announced a ban on grain exports until the end of the year. 30 September 2010 Russia wants to export biofuels and game to EU

Unlike Brazil, where biofuel is manufactured largely from sugar-cane, or the US where it is primarily distilled from corn, the Caspian region's ace resource is an indigenous plant called Camelina Sativa. This can make the region rich in biofuels, helping a great deal in the diversification of its sources of energy. 17 August 2010 Grodno Azot to launch FAME production facility in Q4 2010The equipment for the production facility was supplied from the Slovak company OTEZA.

The company will become one of the main producers of biofuel in Belarus. Grodno Azot intends to launch a production facility to produce its own rapeseed oil as well. 17 August 2010 Êîììåíòàðèè: 1 Dvorkovich Gives Support to Biofuel Energy ProjectsThe government should support small energy-generating projects that use biofuel by giving them tax breaks and subsidized interest rates, presidential economic adviser Arkady Dvorkovich said Tuesday.
