National Algae Association formed in US

The National Algae Association announced the opening of its new headquarters serving all areas of the algae industry.

The association provides an open exchange forum for the publishing of technical papers and the announcement of the results of research into the latest algae related technologies. The association also supports discussion and development of new markets that take advantage of the tremendous potential of algae, not only as a source of renewable energy, but also in the exploration and development of other markets for algae products, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and fertilizers.

The association said that it intended to provide a forum where algae researchers and producers could come together to exchange ideas concerning the latest developments in algae production and the products made from algae.

The identity of founding members of the association and its initial projects and budgets were not disclosed.
