向着生物技术方向发展 Towards a bio future 一个综合性森林生物精炼厂的设想将成为正确答案 The concept of an integrated forest bio refinery could be the answer 量供给的稳定性、可承受性和环境方面的影响已经成为 he reliability, affordability and environmental impact of 对整个世界经济产生重大影响的危急问题。人们最初 energy supply has become the most critical issue for the 能反应大多是在利用农作物生产酒精方面进行投资，但 Tworld economy. While most of the initial response has been 是大多数人一直认为不可能有足够的农作物去满足可更新能量的需 investment in producing ethanol from corn, there is common 要—也需要对纤维素生物质燃料进行转换。美国已经制定了一个目 consensus that there is simply not enough corn to meet renewable 标，那就是到2015年从木质纤维素原料中每年生产出十亿加仑的运 energy needs - cellulose biomass fuels will need to be converted 输级生物燃料。纤维质给料主要来源于制浆造纸厂—世界上最大的 too. The US has set an objective of generating one billion gallons 非食品生物质收集系统。最近，美国纸张和森林产品工业许诺要加 per year of transportation-grade biofuels from lignocellulosic 快生物质燃料的发展，其长期目标是建立一个综合性森林产品生物 sources by 2015. A primary source of cellulosic feedstocks is the 质精炼厂的网络。森林产品生物质精炼厂代表了一个新兴的机遇， pulp and paper industry – the world’s largest non-food biomass 这一机遇将对美国能量供给和森林产品本身产生显著的影响。 collection system. Recently, the US paper and forest products 未来的工厂将是综合性的森林生物精炼厂，引入地域性生物质 industry made a commitment to increase the development of 以代替购置能量。这里可把工厂的任务从仅仅生产低利润纸张产品 biomass fuels, with the long-term goal of developing a network 扩展到能创造出新收入的途径，这种新的收入途径是通过生产绿色 of integrated “forest products bio-refineries”. Forest products bio-refineries represent an emerging opportunity that will have a dramatic impact on future US energy supplies and on the forest 现在的制浆造纸厂利用树木、纤维、化学品和能量来生产纸浆和纸 products in
