2016年1月14日雅思阅读真题+题目+答案：Aqua product: New Zealand‘s Algae Biodiesel

A The world‘s first wild algae biodiesel, produced in New Zealand by Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation* was successfully lest driven in Wellington by the Minister for Energy and Climate Change Issues, David Parker In front of a crowd of invited guests, media and members of the public, the Minister filled up a diesel-powered Land Rover with Aquaflow B5 blend bio-diesel and then drove the car around the forecourt of Parliament Buildings in Central Wellington. Green Partyco-leader, Jeanette Fitzsimons was also on board. Marlborough-based Aquaflow announced in May 2006 that it had produced the world's first bio-diesel derived from wild microalgae soureed from local sewage ponds.

B “We believe we are the first company in the world to test drive a car powered by wild algae-based biodiesel. This will come as a surprise to some international bio-diesel industry people who believe that this break-through is still years away,” explains Aquaflow spokesperson Barrie Leay. “A bunch of inventive Kiwis and an Aussie have developed this fuel in just over a year”, he comments. “This is a huge opportunity for New Zealand and a great credit to the team of people who saw the potential in this technology from day one.”

C Bio-diesel based on algae could eventually become a sustainable, low cost, cleaner burning fuel alternative for New Zealand, powering family cars, trucks, buses and boats. It can also be used for other purposes such as heating or distributed electricity generation There is now a global demand for billions of litres of biodiesel per year Algae arc also readily available and produced in huge volumes in nutrient rich waste streams such as at the settling ponds of Effluent Management Systems (HMS), It is a renewable indigenous resource ideally suited to the production of fuel and others useful by-products. The breakthrough comes after technology start-up, Aquaflow, agreed to undertake a pilot with Marlborough District Council late last year to extract algae from the settling ponds of its HMS based in Blenheim. By removing the main contaminant to use as a fuel feedstock, Aquallow is also helping clean up the council's water discharge -a process known as bio-remediation Dairy farmers, and many food processors too, can benefit in similar ways by applying the harvesting technology to their nutrient-rich waste streams.

D Blended with conventional mineral diesel, bio-diesel can run vehicles without the need for vehicle modifications Fuel derived from algae can also help meet the Government B5 (5% blended) target, with the prospect of this increasing over time as bio-fuel production increases. "Our next step is to increase capacity to produce one million litres of bio-diesel from the Marlborough sewerage ponds over the next year,” says Leay. Aquaflow will launch a prospectus pre-Christmas as the company has already attracted considerable interest from potential investors. The test drive bio-diesel was used successfully in a static engine lest at Massey university’s Wellington campus on Monday, December 11.
