I thought this was an interesting article. Japan has pledged to reduce carbon emissions by 6 percent by 2012. Japan is one of the pioneering countries in climate change policy and research. The plan is to replace the 132 million gallons of gas that fuel Japanese care and replace it with a domestic biofuel. The University of Tokyo is looking at ways to extract ethanol from seaweed. The paln is to put a seaweed farm in the middle of the Sea of Japan. They think a farm this size could produce enough to fuel one third of the gasoline that Japan uses each year.
