- Tanzania has big biofuel potential: FAO study
A huge potential for producing biofuels is expected in Tanzania without hampering the cultivation of food crops, according to a new study.
Conducted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recently, the study observed that the country's land is highly suitable for cultivation of the cassava crop from which ethanol could be produced without affecting food security, the local media reported on Monday.
The cassava-based ethanol schemes, linked to out-growers, would be a viable optio ... の生産バイオ燃料の可能性は巨大なに関する研究開発expectedである栽培を妨げるwithout inタンザニア食品のto作物、応じて

- Our letter to tomorrow | Graham Wynne
As the election approaches, we must remember that politicians hold the key to ensuring the survival of our natural worldThe opening shots have already been fired in what promises to be a long and hard fought election campaign. As we prepare to go to the polls, our planet stands at a crossroads. Whoever forms the next government will face not only a financial crisis, but the crises facing our wildlife and our climate too.The solutions to these crises are linked. The decisions our political leaders make to fix the nation's finances will have major implications for the health of our natural environment and the wellbeing of ourselves and future generations. Put simply, it is time to cut wasteful expenditure that pollutes or destroys the environment, and invest in protecting nature and the services it provides.If there is one thing which stands as a symbol of waste and folly in public spending, it is our approach to biofuels. Biofuels were meant to be part of the solution to climate change; helping to wean us off fossil fuels. Instead, motorists are being forced to pay for a policy which is little short of an environmental disaster.Intensive production and land-use change mean many of the crops grown to make biofuels may produce more greenhouse gas emissions than the fossil fuels they are meant to replace. Some crops, such as palm oil, are grown on land hacked from the rainforests.In the UK, the amount of biofuels in our cars is driven by the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation, which requires 3.25% of vehicle fuel to be made up of biofuels. Three years from now, that will have risen to 5%, and we will have collectively paid up to £720m more for fuel as a result.We are quite literally paying to destroy the rainforests, their precious stores of carbon and their irreplaceable 選挙が近づくと、私たちは、政治家はすでに何が長いと懸命に戦った選挙されることを約束に解雇されている私たちの自然worldTheオープニングショットの生存を確保するためにキーを押した覚えがあります
