Press Release:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s one solution to help the US reduce its dependence on foreign oil and create new green jobs.<\/p>\n

The algae industry is\u00a0quickly moving technologies out of the lab and into\u00a0commercial-scale algae production.\u00a0 Many new algae production plants are scaling-up to produce\u00a0algae oil\u00a0and biomass for co-products.\u00a0 Algae proven technologies are being benchmarked for commercial use and implemented today in the\u00a0scale-up of the new algae production industry. Enhanced research will surely continue as algaepreneurs move into commercial-scale algae production. Algaepreneurs are united in wanting to help the US get off of foreign oil, create jobs and help reduce CO2 emissions. \u00a0Since the government is moving slow into commercial-scale algae production, algaepreneurs have taken on the task of scaling-up algae production farms throughout the US.<\/p>\n

Next on our agenda to continue the pressure to fast-track commercialization of algae is a repeat of the highly popular Algae Production Certification Program, which will be held in Houston on July 27-28, 2010.\u00a0 We will distribute information about the two-day course later this month.<\/p>\n

The next two-day conference will be in Houston, September 23-24, 2010.\u00a0 If you are interested in making a presentation, email info@nationalalgaeassociation with an outline of your topic as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

With an eye toward young water-process and civil engineering, talent leading the future development of the algae biofuel and biomass industry, the National Algae Association and Algae Industry Magazine.com are collaborating to produce, sponsor and host a collegiate scholarship that is sure to become an annual landmark event in the algae industry – The A-Games.\u00a0\u00a0This scholarship competition will focus on the algae production areas of Growing, Harvesting and Extraction, and will pit academia against one another, bringing the best and brightest young minds and their unbridled creativity together with the business and investment communities.\u00a0 Some of the\u00a0companies that\u00a0have agreed to participate are\u00a0Sapphire Energy,\u00a0Origin Oil,\u00a0Solazyme, BARD Holding, Emerging Markets Online and\u00a0BioCentric Energy, and the list continues to grow.<\/p>\n

This is a great opportunity to stimulate the minds of the next generation of algaepreneurs while at the same time making algae production more exciting, important, and successful for the future of our industry and the world. The publicity, public appreciation and acceptance of our industry are important, so we must work together in making this competition a success.<\/p>\n

\nAlgae oil is renewable, does not affect the food channel and consumes CO2.\u00a0 Come learn about algae oil as a\u00a0potential feedstock\u00a0to help become self-sustainable.\u00a0\u00a0It’s one solution to help the US reduce its dependence on foreign oil and create new green jobs.<\/p>\n

The National Algae Association, a 501(c)6, is the first algae trade association in the US with chapters\u00a0throughout the country to assist algaepreneurs create algae production plants to provide\u00a0 biodiesel producers with a renewable feedstock.\u00a0 Algae oil can be made into biodiesel, ethanol, biogasoline, jet fuel and bioplastics.\u00a0 Algae biomass can be made into\u00a0many different co-products such as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and organic fertilizer.<\/p>\n

Algae production plants are scaling-up to produce both algae oil\u00a0and biomass for co-products.\u00a0 Algae research will continue but proven technologies are being implemented today in the\u00a0scale-up of the new algae industry. Enhancements will surely continue as algaepreneurs move into commercial-scale algae production.<\/p>\n

The algae industry is\u00a0quickly moving technologies out of the lab and into\u00a0commercial-scale algae production.\u00a0 Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be involved in this emerging industry!\u00a0\u00a0 You do not have to be a member of the NAA to attend or participate in any of our events. \u00a0All 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.<\/p>\n
