FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mixtures of alkyl ethers of fatty acids for use as raw material for producing biofuel which contains at least 50 wt % alkyl ethers of saturated fatty acids containing 6-14 carbon atoms, alkyl ether of myristoleic acid and alkyl ethers of monounsaturated fatty acids containing more than 14 carbon atoms, less than 10 wt % alkyl ether of myristic acid and alkyl ethers of saturated fatty acids containing more than 18 carbon atoms. 1) said alkyl ethers of fatty acids contain alkyl ether of lauric acid (C12:0), said alkyl ether of lauric acid makes up 5-20 wt % of the mixture; or 2) said mixture contains 15-40% alkyl ethers of fatty acids containing 6-14 carbon atoms and 60-85% alkyl ethers of monounsaturated fatty acids containing more than 18 carbon atoms. The invention also relates to a method of producing said mixture.

EFFECT: invention provides a fuel mixture which is less likely to freeze in cold climate conditions.
