生物燃料最新发展态势分析

第一代生物燃料的生产工艺已经较为成熟，美国、欧盟和巴西等一些国家已经形成了较完善的产业链。以纤维素乙醇为代表的第二代生物燃料是更有希望的替代燃料，但目前还未获得关键性的技术突破，其大规模的商业化生产还有待时日。目前生物燃料正处于由第一代向第二代发展过渡的初期。各国纷纷将发展第二代生物燃料定为国策，为此制订了长期的发展规划与目标，并为生物燃料发展提供了良好的政策环境和大力的经费支持。各相关研究机构与企业也积极行动，力图解决生物燃料发展的各个关键问题。在此过程中，一些与生物燃料可持续发展有关的重要问题也引起了人们的关注。

The Current Development of Biofuels

The production technology for the first generation of biofuels has been made great achievements and some countries, such as USA, EU countries, and Brazil, have formed successful biofuel industrial chains. Cellulose ethanol, a representative of the second generation of biofuels and a kind of more promising alternative fuels, has not yet got enough key technological breakthroughs and its large scale commercial production still needs rather some time to realize. Now it is in the early stage of transition to the second generation of biofuels. Taking the development of second generation of biofuels as their national policies, many countries have developed long-term development plans and objectives, and provided a good policy environment and strong support for it. Thus institutes and enterprises are engaging and successing in addressing key issues relating to the development of biofuels. At the mean time, some important issues relating to the sustainable development of biofuels have attracted people's attention.
