Task1 blog project

My name is Mohamed Hadi Al Mousawi; I'm a student at ADMC in my first year. I have 7 siblings, 3 brothers and 4 sisters. I was born on 19th, February 1989 in Abu Dhabi. I live in Abu Dhabi with my family in a villa in Zayed City which is in the middle of Abu Dhabi near Zayed City Center. My hobbies are: surfing the internet, watching movies, TV series and hanging out with my friends. My favorite actor is Wentworth Miller who is an actor in “Prison Break” series. Presently I’m working in ADCB “Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank” as a part time job. I’m working on Saturdays only from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.


In this semester I’m doing 5 subjects: English 175, English 174, BMGN 150, ITEC 150 and ITEC 277. In English 174 we are now about to start our blog project, which is about climate change and global warming. This project contains 6 tasks; some of them we have to do it in our class times and the others in our own time and enter them in our blog.


From my own idea global warming is a serious problem which can affect the whole word and specially our health. There are many attempts to solve this problem by making people aware, by many ways like the media, of its seriousness.

UK announces world's largest algal biofuel project "Summary"

The Carbon Trust hopes to make algal biofuel a commercial reality by 2020. Transportation accounts for one quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions. Recently, a review showed that algae are a potential way to generate sustainable energy. Algae produce a range of chemicals and scientists hope to find strains that could produce oil.

For the first stage of the project, the Carbon Trust will spend up to £6m in a range of British companies involved in promising algae research. The second step of the project will start in around a year and involves scaling up the algae-growing operation. In the past there were many efforts to develop biofuels from algae, but none of them was a success. But now, the Carbon Trust believe that the interest in algae has been renewed because of the recent increases in oil prices.

There are many companies around the world already involved in making fuel from algae. The most important benefit of algae is its ability to remove CO2 from the air.
