-- 根據《日經新聞》週二報道，日本經濟產業省將提供40億日圓（約2,520萬美元）的補貼，支持莫三比克和加納開展一項大規模海洋生物燃料試點計畫。 報告稱，這筆資金旨在支付計畫啟動成本，直到計畫獲利，其雙重目標是在實現能源來源多元化的同時，幫助改善環境並惠及當地農民。 該計畫由總部位於東京的日本生質燃料公司牽頭，將種植麻風樹。報導稱，這種生命力頑強的植物能夠在貧瘠的土壤中生長，並能產出富含油脂的種子，而且不會像玉米或其他生物燃料作物那樣對糧食供應造成壓力。 報導稱，燃料生產設施將在兩國建設，並僱用當地工人負責從種植到生產的各個環節。 報導還補充說，最終生產的生物燃料預計將為日本國內貨船、開往非洲的貨船以及以新加坡為基地的商船提供動力，從而解決多重挑戰。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）
