Given the sharp rise in crude oil prices and growing awareness of climate change, the potential of biofuels, particularly of bioethanol, has become an ubiquitous topic of public debate and has induced ambitious policy initiatives. The latter are mostly paired with protectionist measures as the examples of the European Union and the United States show, where domestic producers of energy crops are put at an advantage thanks to subsidisation, direct payments and/or favourable tax schemes. Moreover, the EU is working out a mandatory certification scheme for ethanol imports, imposing social and environmental standards which constitute another hurdle for more efficiently produced ethanol originating in the Southern hemisphere. A similar path is taken by Switzerland's revised mineral oil tax l...

Consumer interest in cleaner and greener auto technology is exploding, even in the United States. From fuel cells to plugin hybrids, the industry is showing more research and development zeal than at any time since the golden days of 1900, when gasoline, steam and electric vehicles (ev's) competed in the marketplace. This spring's car salon in Geneva, Switzerland was greener than ever, and one manufacturer dominated the headlines for its BioPower engines: Saab Cars of Sweden. These days wholly owned by gm, Saab introduced yet another BioPower model - the 9-3 production car - now available with a flex-fuel engine which runs on regular gas or gas with an 85% ethanol content. But the star and talk of the show, the car that became the favorite image for major European news media was the Saa...

There's a natural resistance on the part of human beings to change," he said. "I can remember when family and people I know were complaining about computers - that computers were the bane of our future. There's a lot of people out there that tend to not believe what is going on and yet, bioscience has been around forever. We've been breeding plants and animals for thousands of years. It's only in the last 10 to 15 years that people realized you can do bad things with bioscience but you can do a lot of good things, too. There is a lack of understanding about the process of bioengineering. You have to monitor and control it, but it can be done in controlled environment and with proper oversight.

That prompted me to contact the ceo of Saab," the ambassador recalls. "I asked him if this great car from Sweden, which runs on ethanol, is available in the U.S. He said no and explained some of the reasons why. I told him that doesn't make sense to me. There are many people in the u.s. like me who would like to reduce their carbon footprint, who would like to make a more responsible decision on a car, they'd like to have the option of a car which runs on ethanol, so we worked with him through his internal General Motors process, with the assistance of the Departments of Energy and Transportation. As a result, the Saab 9-5 BioPower car will be available for sale in the U.S. next year. [Michael Wood] is cool as a cucumber during the interview, methodical and articulate. But when asked ...
