National Algae Association to convene networking forum in Texas on July 17

May 1, 2008

In Texas, the National Algae Association will hold a July 17th forum for networking, research and to present business plans. Algae oil production companies, algae researchers and algaeprenuers will present leading-edge technologies for commercialization of the “new oil” on July 17th in The Woodlands, Texas. The NAA brings companies and researchers together to share ideas and exchange information to overcome technological hurdles and commercialize this fast growing renewable oil industry.

The National Algae Association was founded last January to provide 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.
