Shell to develop more cleaner biofuel

Royal Dutch Shell aims to develop a second generation of biofuels that diminishes their impact on climate change and competition with food crops, the company’s head of biofuels said.

But Darran Messem distanced the group from comments by a senior Shell executive in Singapore, quoted by Reuters, that generating biofuels from food crops was morally inappropriate as long as there are people in the world who are starving. “The comments made yesterday do not fully represent Shell’s policy or position on biofuels,” he said.
