聯合國農糧組織於25日表示,從石化燃料轉向再生生物能源已成為全球主要的趨勢。這項轉變部分是因油價創新高紀錄,上週油價飆漲至每桶超過75美元的空前新高。全球暖化的加速、京都議定書控制二氧化碳與溫室氣體的排放,以及政府逐漸察覺對石油依賴的風險,均影響全球轉向尋求生質燃料的需求。

Oil Price Pressure Driving Global Switch to Biofuels
ROME, Italy, April 25, 2006 (ENS)
Worldwide momentum is gathering for a major international switch from fossil fuels to renewable bioenergy, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said today. The move is driven in part by record high oil prices, as oil jumped to an all-time high above $75 a barrel last week. Increased global warming and the Kyoto Protocol’s curbs on emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and a growing perception by governments of the risks of dependence on oil also play a part.
