The 2008 Algae Biomass Summit opened on 23rd Oct to a capacity audience of more than 600 algae producers, scientists, investors and policy-makers from more than a dozen countries. These experts gathered to accelerate the development of algae-based solutions to global energy, environmental, and economic issues. Keynote speaker and pre-eminent clean technology investor Vinod Khosla set the tone for the conference by stating his belief that given the continued developments in technology, algae can play a significant role in the replacement of petroleum oil.

I am here today because I believe algae can be a solution, stated Khosla. “I’m convinced someone here (at the Summit) will break the code. The exciting part is to see over 600 people in this room solving the problem. In fact, someone out there may have already solved it and I just dont know yet.”
