Algae: A Solution

Algae oil is renewable, does not affect the food channel and consumes CO2. Come to Houston in September and learn about algae oil as a potential feedstock to help biodiesel producers become self-sustainable. It's one solution to help the US reduce its dependence on foreign oil and create new green jobs.

The National Algae Association, a 501(c)6, is the first algae trade association in the US with chapters throughout the country to assist algaepreneurs in creating commercial-scale algae production plants in the US using American research and equipment. Algae oil can be made into biodiesel, ethanol, biogasoline, jet fuel and bioplastics. Algae biomass can be made into many different co-products such as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and organic fertilizer.

The algae industry is quickly moving technologies out of the lab and into commercial-scale algae production. Many new algae production plants are scaling-up to produce algae oil and biomass for co-products. Algae proven technologies are being implemented today in the scale-up of the new algae industry. Enhancements will surely continue as algaepreneurs move into commercial-scale algae production. We are united in wanting to help US to get off foreign oil, to create jobs right here in the US and to reduce CO2 emissions. Since our government and corporate America are slow to move into commercial-scale algae production, algaepreneurs are taking on the task of setting up new algae production facilities throughout the US.

The next two-day conference will be at the Sheraton North Houston at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on September 23-24, 2010. If you are interested in making a presentation, email info@nationalalgaeassociation with an outline of your topic as soon as possible.

You do not need to be a member of the NAA to attend any of our events. All you need is an interest in collaborative sharing of information to help develop turn-key algae production in the US as one solution to get the US off of foreign oil.
