Meetings with state officials are being scheduled for late February to determine a start date and site selection for these field demonstrations.<br \/>&#8220;Alabama has taken the initial steps to lead the nation into the future of algaeculture for biodiesel and animal feedstock production,&#8221; said Gordon LeBlanc, Jr., CEO of PetroSun. &#8220;The Gulf Coast region of the United States could become the model for self sufficiency in renewable liquid transportation fuels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Independent studies have demonstrated that algae is capable of producing 30 times more oil per acre than the current crops now utilized for the production of biofuels. The algae biomass material could also supply annually up to 100,000 pounds of animal feed per acre with a 50% protein content.<\/p>\n<p>See full press release <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwire.com\/mw\/release_html_b1?release_id=213452\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color:red;\">Nature <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/ref\/oil\/or\/or.html\">gave us<\/a> oil from algae; perhaps <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/ref\/story\/story.html\">we should try<\/a> Nature&#8217;s way again<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/\">Oilgae &#8211; Oil &amp; Biodiesel from Algae<\/a><\/b><br \/><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/blog\/\">Oilgae Blog<\/a><\/b>; The <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/blog\/dir\/dir.html\">complete list of Oilgae Blog articles<\/a><\/b>.<br \/><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/algae\/oil\/biod\/research\/os\/algos.html\">algOS &#8211; Biodiesel from Algae Open Source<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>About Oilgae &#8211; <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/\">Oilgae &#8211; Oil &amp; Biodiesel from Algae<\/a><\/b> has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general.
