2024年度第1回英検 1級ライティング（英文要約）

As overall car ownership and the adoption of fuel-inefficient vehicles in industrialized nations proliferate, global gasoline and diesel consumption continues to ascend. This trend is worrying, however, as civilization cannot rely on these fuels in perpetuity, and the carbon dioxide emissions from their ongoing use impede progress in the fight against climate change. To tackle this issue, scientists have conceived a solution that yields carbon-neutral biofuel from waste materials. Nevertheless, as things stand, governments are apprehensive about investing in biofuel because of sluggish progress in upscaling its production sufficiently to enable its broad implementation as an alternative fuel.

3段落ですが、4文ですね。

分けるとこうですね。

第一段落

As overall car ownership and the adoption of fuel-inefficient vehicles in industrialized nations proliferate, global gasoline and diesel consumption continues to ascend.

第二段落

This trend is worrying, however, as civilization cannot rely on these fuels in perpetuity, and the carbon dioxide emissions from their ongoing use impede progress in the fight against climate change.

第三段落

To tackle this issue, scientists have conceived a solution that yields carbon-neutral biofuel from waste materials. Nevertheless, as things stand, governments are apprehensive about investing in biofuel because of sluggish progress in upscaling its production sufficiently to enable its broad implementation as an alternative fuel.

まず、やることは本文から上記に相当する該当文を抜くことです。（文中の不要な箇所は端折ります）

第一段落

With increased wealth comes an increased demand for mobility, and owning a car is becoming the norm.

cars are big and heavy, which inevitably leads to poorer fuel efficiency

usage of gasoline and diesel continues to rise worldwide.

第二段落

Many environmentalists are alarmed by this trend

fossil fuels and are therefore finite resources.

climate change cannot be addressed without addressing transportation

第三段落

Scientists have come up with a potential means

They have developed a process for producing fuel from animal and plant waste

Technological advances in the field have been slow

the process is not yet efficient enough to make the large scale use of biofuel for transportation realistic.

This has discouraged many governments from allocating funding for biofuel production facilities.

これらをつなげていきます。

With increased wealth comes an increased demand for mobility, and owning a car is becoming the norm but the cars are big and heavy, which inevitably leads to poorer fuel efficiency. The usage of gasoline and diesel continues to rise worldwide.

Many environmentalists are alarmed by this trend as the fossil fuels are finite resources. The climate change cannot be addressed without addressing this issue.

Now the scientists have come up with a potential means. They have developed a process for producing fuel from animal and plant waste. However, the technological advances in the field have been slow. The process is not yet efficient enough to make the large-scale use of biofuel for transportation realistic. This has discouraged many governments from allocating funding for biofuel production facilities.

言い回しを変えます。

The demand for mobility increased as wealth increased. Car ownership is becoming more and more common, but because cars are heavy, their fuel efficiency will inevitably suffer. Globally, the use of fossil fuels is still increasing.

Given that the fuels are limited, this worries a lot of environmentalists. Addressing this issue is essential to addressing climate change.

The scientists have now developed a possible method. They have created a method for turning waste into fuel. But technological progress has been sluggish. The process is currently inefficient for using biofuel on a large scale. Many governments have been deterred from providing funds for the production of biofuels as a result.
