production and what future can this initiative have?
- Previously there have been such attempts to make earth apple one of
the main plants, which will serve as a raw material. Such an attempt
was initiated by the Government of the Armenian SSR in 1986. Although,
the collapse of the USSR was the reason why those undertakings remained
unrealized. Taking into consideration the fact that Armenia does not
have energetic resources and there is a problem of provision security
earth apple due to its qualities can become irreplaceable plant first
of all as recourse of energy recovery and provision.
- Armenia is not engaged in the production of gasoline, where do you
plan to realize bio-ethanol?
- Earth apple is among the most efficient means for the production
of bio-ethanol; its component in gasoline reaches 18 percent. In
accordance with current standards of gasoline production its usage
is indispensable. The Russian Federation also is intended to the
implementation of EURO-3 standards in the gasoline production. In case
of mass growth of earth apple in Armenia possibility of bio-ethanol
production also grows. This production can reach up to 30-40 tons. In
case of the organization of the industry the European states are
willing to buy all the production of bio-ethanol. (THE FULL VERSION
