The National Algae Association, a 501(c)6, is the first algae trade association in the US to assist algaepreneurs in creating commercial-scale algae farms in the US using American research and equipment. Algae oil can be made into biodiesel, biogasoline, jet fuel and bioplastics. Algae biomass can be made into many different co-products including 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 farms 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 by researchers will surely continue as algaepreneurs move into commercial algae production. We are united in wanting to help the 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 algae production, algaepreneurs are taking on the task of setting up new algae production facilities throughout the US.
