Ukraine
Authored By: D. Cassidy
The Ukrainian energy and fuels industry has estimated that it can produce 46 million tons of biobased fuels by the year 2010. The nations current production capacity is estimated to be around 640 million tons but due to lack of government support and the publics lean towards fossil fuels, very little is being done.
The Scientfic Energy Centre in the Ukraine has encouraged the planting of Rapeseed for biobased fuels and expects to produce 2 million tons fo ethanol yearly by 2010 and 2 million tons of biodiesel by 2015 for local consumption.
