Russia: Moscow promoting biotechnology and genetic engineering.
(c) 2013 Elsevier Engineering Information www.ei.org [http://www.ei.org]
The Russian government has approved a development programme for the biotechnology and genetic engineering industries for the period to 2019. Included in this will be increased use of renewable energy sources. The market in biotechnology and genetically modified products was Roubles 128 bn (EUR 2.92 bn) in 2012. Roubles 180 bn is targeted for 2015 and Roubles 300 bn for 2018. With exports of just Roubles 1 bn, Russia's share of the market in biotechnology and genetically modified products is just 0.1%. If everything goes to plan, exports will grow to Roubles 50 bn. Some products such as biofuels or compostable products are still not produced in Russia: this too will change. Refineries for biofuels and plant-based fuel additives are to be erected. The proportion of biofuel and additives in overall fuel consumption is to increase to 8% in 2018.
The number of projects for the production of biofuels and for the use of alternative energy sources will rise from the current two, to 10 in 2015, and to 20 in 2018.
