日本政府各部和各机构上周向大藏省提出了下一财政年度的经费预算申请,其中包括不计其数的与全球环境研究有关的新项目的经费申请。有几项申请是要求建立新的研究中心,最大的一个中心将是由通产省(MITI)投资建立的一个负责开发“对环境无害”的技术的研究所。预算经费的分配要到今年年底才能最后拍板定案,但是有关科学技术的经费申请在年终协商时通常只作不大的调整。通产省要求拨款85.4亿日元(约合6千万美元)来建立研究全球环境的工业研究所,对于一个新上马项目的第一年来说,这确是一个狮子大开口的要求。通产省希望用其中的20亿日元来开发氯氟碳化合物的代用品和把二氧化碳转化为有用产品的方法。据通产省环境保护局副局长朝日浩说,二氧化碳的化学固定法与生物固定法均在研究之列。
Last week, Japanese government ministries and agencies proposed to the Ministry of Finance the budgetary appropriation for the next fiscal year, which includes an unspecified number of applications for funding new projects related to global environmental studies. There are several applications for establishing a new research center. One of the biggest centers will be an institute funded by MITI to develop an “environmentally friendly” technology. The distribution of budgetary funds will not be finalized until the end of this year. However, applications for science and technology are usually subject to little adjustment during the year-end consultation. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry needs to allocate 8.54 billion yen (about 60 million U.S. dollars) to establish an industrial institute for studying the global environment. This is indeed a lion's loneliness requirement for the first year of a newly launched project. The Mito prefecture hopes to use 2 billion yen of these to develop alternatives to CFCs and to convert carbon dioxide into useful products. According to Asahi Ho, deputy director of the MOCTS Environmental Protection Agency, both the chemical fixation method and the biological fixation method for carbon dioxide are under study.
