Algae - the New Green Crude
It's one solution to help the US reduce its dependence on foreign oil
and create new green jobs.
The algae industry is quickly moving technologies out of the lab and
into commercial-scale algae production. Many new algae production plants
are scaling-up to produce algae oil and biomass for co-products. Algae
proven technologies are being benchmarked for commercial use and
implemented today in the scale-up of the new algae 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. Since 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. The NAA Engineering Consortium
has just finished the first 100 acre algae production plant (growing,
harvesting and extraction) design in the US.
The next two-day conference will be in Houston, September 23-24, 2010.

Algae oil is renewable, does not affect the food channel and consumes
CO2. It's one solution to help the US reduce its dependence on foreign
oil and create new green jobs.
The National Algae Association, a 501(c)6, is the first algae trade
association in the US with chapters throughout the country to assist
algaepreneurs create algae production plants to provide biodiesel
producers with a renewable feedstock. Algae oil can be made into jet
fuel, biodiesel, biogasoline and bioplastics. Algae biomass can be made
into many different co-products such as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics and organic fertilizer.
Algae production plants are scaling-up to produce both algae oil and
biomass for co-products. Algae research will continue but proven
technologies are being implemented today in the scale-up of the new
algae industry. Enhancements will surely continue as algaepreneurs move
into commercial-scale algae production.
The algae industry is quickly moving technologies out of the lab and
into commercial-scale algae production. Don't miss out on the
opportunity to be involved in this emerging industry! You do not have to
be a member of the NAA to attend or participate in any of our events.
All 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.
