STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Present plans by China and India for biofuel production could mean they face water scarcity by 2030, a researcher said.
Charlotte de Fraiture, a Colombo-based scientist with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), said in an interview that she did not “see a lot of potential for biofuel production in either China or India because of the water.
“It’s not that I’m saying don’t go for biofuels. It’s just that India and China are two water-short countries”.
