"An investment in methane capture and use projects is an investment in a more environmentally sustainable future," said Bob Meyers, principal deputy assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air & Radiation.

想到了:环境方面更加可持续发展的未来
rushidao Feb 18, 2008:
But this is not 环境可持续发展. It's more like 环境更可续/永续[的未来]. Blah, tongue in cheek. :-)
rushidao Feb 18, 2008:
Strictly speaking, "environmentally sustainable" does not necessarily implies "sustainable development". For example, methane capture will cut the release of greenhouse gas, which contributes to the sustainability of the environment.

在环境可更持续发展的未来

这里的"环境"和"可持续发展"不是并列的,"持续发展"是来修饰"环境"的,供您参考

更有利于未来环境可持续发展的

因为前面有个investment,所以调整一下词序,原句就可以译成“。。。是更有利于未来环境可持续发展的投资项目。”

Sustainability is a characteristic of a process or state that can be maintained at a certain level indefinitely. The term, in its environmental usage, refers to the potential longevity of vital human ecological support systems, such as the planet's climatic system, systems of agriculture, industry, forestry, and fisheries, and human communities in general and the various systems on which they depend in balance with the impacts of our unsustainable or sustainable design.

文化语言不同,表达方式自有其文化特色,不妨就笼统地这样译。just for your reference
