Country:
Title of the programme/strategy:
Development of the technologies for producing and utilization of the renewable sources of energy based on agricultural raw materials and waste
Title of the programme/strategy:
Elaborarea tehnologiei de producere si utilizare a surselor energetice renovabile în baza materiei prime si deseurilor agricole

Overview:
This is a state program in the research-development field. Such programs are proposed by Academy of Sciences of Moldova (ASM) and are included in the four-year agreements between ASM and Government.
The main goal is the development of sustainable economy through diminishing the dependence from external sources of energy and improving the environment.
The main aims of the program are:
- Development of the technologies and tools for producing the renewable fluid fuel from agricultural sources
- Adaptation of the internal combustion engines for efficient utilization of bio-fuels
It is estimated that integral implementation of the program would bring in economy a net profit of more than 200 million Euro by replacing the petrol A-95 and A-92 with a mixture from 20% of ethanol and 80% petrol A-80, and by replacing Diesel oil with methylic ester.
Background and rationale:
The state programs are the main mode to promote state policy in the research-development field.
This program correspond to following strategic priority in science and innovation field: „Energetic security and efficiency growth of the energetic complex” (in total there are six national priorities)
The program was conditioned by necessities to reduce the dependence form external sources of energy and to improve the environment.
