A new biofuel station branded Energy Strategies and Biotechnologies has opened in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, revealed LIGABusinessInform. This is reportedly the first biofuel station both in Ukraine and the whole of eastern Europe.
The new station sells two kinds of motor fuel made of biomaterial: the Bio-100 analog of high-octane gasoline, and biodiesel fuel.
Moldova will act as the fuel supplier in the initial stage of the project implementation. Later on, production will take place in Ukraine itself. By the end of 2008, about 10 biofuel stations are expected to be set up in the country.
