到2020年我國將全面推廣車用乙醇汽油

China has for the first time set a targeted timeline to roll out the use of ethanol in gasoline nationwide for cars, part of its efforts to clean up pollution and optimize the country's energy mix.

我國首次設定了在全國範圍內推廣車輛使用乙醇汽油的時間表，這是我國清理污染、優化能源結構的部分舉措。

According to a plan jointly released by 15 government departments, including the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration and the Ministry of Finance, the country will implement use of ethanol-added gasoline by 2020, while targeting the large-scale production of cellulose ethanol and the world-leading position in advanced liquid biofuel technologies by 2025.

根據國家發展改革委、國家能源局、財政部等15部委日前聯合印發的一份方案，到2020年，我國將實現在全國範圍內使用乙醇汽油；到2025年，力爭纖維素乙醇實現規模化生產、先進生物液體燃料技術達到國際領先水平。

"The plan was unveiled as the country is pushing the use of biofuel, which is renewable, applicable and environmental-friendly. It is an ideal alternative to fossil fuel," a senior National Energy Administration official said.

國家能源局一位高級官員稱：“該方案公佈時，我國正在推動生物燃料的使用。生物燃料是可再生的、適用的、環境友好型的。它是化石燃料的理想替代品。”

The plan also said the government aims to build an ethanol production base in the country's northeast, without giving further details.

該方案還指出，政府計劃在我國東北地區建設乙醇產業基地，但未透露更多細節。

China is the world's third-largest bioethanol producer and uses nearly 2.6 million tons a year.

我國是世界第三大生物燃料乙醇生產國，年使用量近260萬噸。

Gasoline blended with ethanol accounts for one-fifth of its annual gasoline consumption.

乙醇汽油佔到了全國年汽油消費總量的1/5。
