Organisers of the Second Algae Biofuel Summit 2009 in New Delhi (India) held during the second week of September are very satisfied with the outcome of the event, which was attended by researchers, scientists, entrepreneurs and industry delegates from over 20 Indian states and 12 countries across the globe.

Mr. Saxena said that his organization is currently working on various innovative projects in the sector. One full session at the summit is devoted to discuss the technology to convert carbon dioxide emissions into fuel using algae, non-potable water and sunlight.  Another important area focused is the treatment of waste water using algae. It is now possible to link the production of algae-based fuel with an inexpensive method of sewage treatment. 

Mr. Saxena concluded that companies all over the world are talking of commercializing algae biofuels within five to ten years. Growdiesel’s mission is to establish the world’s first commercial scale integrated biofuel farm in India with the support of India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
