Could Russia become a biofuel superpower?

While the trust of the article is about a record wheat harvest, this paragraph sparked that thought.
Experts believe that Russia has huge potential for growth - millions of acres of farmland lie fallow and vast expanses of fertile land have never been farmed at all.
There would be hurdles to overcome, notably around the concepts of title and separations between the judicial, executive and legislative branches of government, but it might be a country that could develop a crop-based biofuels industry.
