英语新闻：Green fuel lurks in pond scum潜藏在池塘浮垢里的绿色燃料

Dean

A plant scientist from West Texas believes one of the oldest, simplest life forms could help to ease some of today's toughest energy and environment problems.

Algae（海藻）converts（转变）carbon dioxide（一氧化碳）, the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming, into a vegetable oil that Glen Kertz, a plant cell expert who used to work for oil companies, hopes can be economically（经济地）turned into biodiesel（生物柴油）.

Algae doesn't need prime（基本的，原始的）farmland, vast quantities of fertiliser（肥料）, or large harvest vehicles（机械）, unlike corn which is the main United States feedstock for ethanol（乙醇）, the top alternative motor fuel.

The single-celled organisms（微生物）, which are among the world's fastest growing plants, can prosper（繁荣）in small bags of water under the light of greenhouses.
