Currently, a comprehensive biotechnology development program is being implemented in Russia. The key direction of the program is creation of favorable conditions for production of bioethanol that can be used as a component of standard automotive gasolines as well as of special-purpose bioethanol fuels. This article lists the technical specifications for experimental specimens of E30 and E85 bioethanol fuels developed within the ambit of scientific research work at OAO VNII NP, the ultimate goal of which is to develop an E30 and E85 fuels production technology at minimal cost and to subsequently employ it on a regional scale.
