Summary 1

PART 1( Summary):
In this article the writer discuss as algal biofuels. He said the government is close to finishing a project which could transform fuels. The Carbon Trust will make it actually by 2020 and this company wants to decrease the emissions in 2050 by 80%. In addition, algae could produce biofuels. Scientists try to get strains that could be a substitute for diesel and petrol.
Moreover, algae haven’t any manufacturing cost; also they grow in any area and do not need fresh or clean water. Firstly Carbon Trust promises the algae will replace about 70 billion of fossil fuels yearly in the world. Algae have many species so we can’t trust two companies.
In the second stage the algae farm will produce more biofuel than we want and it will cost too much. In fact, until now nobody could design a market system but Carbon Trust feels there will be a market system because of increased oil prices and climate change.
Many companies are making algae fuel and one of them tries to get “green crude”; it’s a chemical mixture. This company wants to use it in cars. Moreover the algae could remove CO2 and we could use it to clean the atmosphere.

PART 2 ( Main Idea):
The Carbon Trust finds a project which could produce fuels from algae. Then algae have many good points like lowering the carbon emissions and removing CO2. This project will cost too much if you compare it with the oil price; because of increased oil price and climate change the algae fuel could be available to the public.

PART 3 ( Comment):

What do you think ?
I think this article is very important because it outlines what we will use after oil or to save the climate.
In my opinion:
I see this article is well organized but has many difficult words.

What more do you know or want to learn about this topic?
This article made me remember what I read last week in Al-Khaleej news paper, they said the government will use taxi which has no emissions in 2012. In addition, I want to learn more what the government will do about the climate change or after the oil finish.
