Fuel Alternatives - Holland - Shell executive: Food crops to produce biofuels "morally inappropriate”
Singapore -planetark.com -7 July 2006: -- Royal Dutch Shell, the world's top marketer of biofuels, considers using food crops to make biofuels "morally inappropriate" as long as there are people in the world who are starving, an executive of the company said yesterday at a seminar... Eric G Holthusen, Shell’s Fuels Technology Manager Asia/Pacific, said: "We think morally it is inappropriate because what we are doing here is using food and turning it into fuel.

This is not what we would like to see. But sometimes economics force you to do it"...
