After languishing for more than a decade, NREL's algae program is revitalized and expanding, as hundreds of companies try to commercialize processes to turn algae into fuel. Now researchers are focusing on a better understanding of algae biology and trying to separate myths from reality surrounding this promising source of "green crude." Full story.

Due to the high cost of oil, commercializing the algae oil industry is now on a fast track. If you are working on algae and you have an innovative or breakthrough technology you would like to present to a large group of biofuels producers, scientists, researchers and potential investors, you are invited to submit your presentation for review for the next National Algae Association event on January 29-30, 2009. We are seeking presentations from experienced subject matter experts, organizations, institutions and scientists with applied knowledge in biology, biochemical engineering, plant physiology, petrochemical or refinery engineering, mechanical/process design engineering, and entrepreneurs who can effectively communicate scientific knowledge into business language for biofuels producers, investors and other entrepreneurs. If you would like to be considered as a speaker, please submit your presentation and papers at your earliest convenience.
