UK pledges huge new biofuel project

摘要

The British government and 15 businesses including Royal Dutch Shell BP and SABMiller have pledged to invest £27m for a research programme for new biofuels that are not made from food crops.rnRepresenting the UK's biggest ever public investment in bioenergy, the money will fund research at six centres around the UK with the goal of replacing petrol in cars with fuels derived from willow, straw and other non-food crops.
