Planetark.com Headline: INTERVIEW – Shell Plans Cleaner Second Generation of Biofuels
UK: July 10, 2006
LONDON – 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 on Friday.
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.

Politicians seldom balk at a company offering their area a multi-billion dollar investment.
But the regional municipality that includes the Alberta town of Fort McMurray will tell regulators this month that its over-stretched services cannot cope with a planned C$6bn (£2.9bn) expansion of Suncor Energy’s nearby oilsands operation.
Fort McMurray is at the centre of one of north America’s most frenzied resource booms since the Klondike gold rush of 1897.
