Biofuels seen as a luxury China cannot afford

China cannot afford to embark on industrial production of grain-derived biofuels because supplies of corn and other crops are needed to feed the country’s 1.3 billion people.

“It would be a disaster for us if we depend on a huge amount of corn and other grains for energy,” said Zhai Huqu, president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in comments quoted by the official China Daily.
