The Woodlands, TX, United States, 06/02/2010 - As the economy worsens and the consequences of our dependence on petroleum are being realized, the National Algae Association's pursuit of algae as an alternative fuel is in high gear.

The demise of the Deepwater Horizon and the resulting damage to the economy and the environment are encouraging pursuit of alternate fuels and feedstock supplies. Since the crude that fuels our vehicles and is currently contaminating the Gulf of Mexico began as algae, it is a natural solution to the current situation. Algae oil is renewable, does not affect the food channel and consumes CO2. It can be made into biodiesel, ethanol, biogasoline, jet fuel and bioplastics. Algae biomass can be made into many different co-products such as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and organic fertilizer.
National Algae Association (nationalalgaeassociation.com) and BARD Holdings are pleased to announce that Bucks County Commissioner and Republican candidate for Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Jim Cawley, Will Thurmond of Emerging Markets Online, Bob Vitale of Waterwheel Factory and Lower Bucks County Joint Municipal Authority Director Vijay Rajput will all be on the agenda for the June 17, 2010 Workshop at BARD Holdings’ facility in Fairless Hills, PA.
If you share the National Algae Association’s mission to fast-track commercialization of algae production to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil while creating green jobs in the United States, or if you’re interested in learning more about algae’s potential co-products, join us and be a part of the contribution to the algae industry and becoming self-sustainable.
Algae producers and researchers, technology and equipment companies will all be on hand to share information and experiences with algaepreneurs, researchers and potential investment groups, all with the common belief that COLLABORATION + INNOVATION = COMMERCIALIZATION.
Registration information are available on our website.
