Summary 1

Part 1 - Summary:

In this article the author Alok Jha talked about a very big project which is really important. The algal biofuel project will be launched by an agency from the government which improves low-carbon technologies. The carbon trust will make using algal biofuels reality in 2020. They expect that this project will cost 26 million pounds to replace it with the fossil fuels which are used in the UK. But it’s expected that the project will be abroad not only in the UK; because the using carbon-neutral fuels will reduce 80% of the overall emissions by 2050.

There are two problems which are mentioned in the article. The first problem is that there are different species of algae, and each of them has peculiar requirements which make them different from one another. The second problem is that the algae are taking the Co2 but giving it back again, and we have to find a way to make the algae safeyy storable.

The carbon trust project will move into two stages. The first one is to spend about 6 million pounds on a range of some British companies which are involved in the promising algae subject. The second stage is to start working in a year and includes scaling up the algae-growing performance.

The reasons for using algae are the increasing price of the oil and public consciousness of the climate change. There are several companies which want to get involved in making the algal biofuel.

Part 2 – Main Idea:

The author talked about the Carbon trust project which is producing a renewable fuel. This will be first in the UK and it could be worldwide later. There are several things that make them choose the algae such as it's a possible way to produce sustainable biofuels. But there are some problems with it and they will try to solve them.

Part 3 – Comment:

I think the article was interesting, because it talks about a very useful solution for the fossil fuel problem.
The article was easy to read, because the author used simple words.
The article reminded me about what I have heard from my friend that Japan started to make motors work by water. I hoped to know more about it.
