National Algae Association heads to Florida for one-day commercialization workshop

In Florida, the National Algae Association will host a one-day workshop on algae commercialization on June 12, 2009 in Orlando, Florida.

Ronald Pate of Sandia National Laboratories will speak in behalf of the DOE on the OBP’s Recovery Act Funding Opportunities at our June 12, Orlando workshop. The recent news of $50 million in proposed funding for grants related to algal biofuels has spurred great interest in developing algae biofuels partnerships and initiating the data gathering process for grant applications. Ron Pate will address these topics and offer valuable insight into algae research based on his past work at Sandia Labs.

Other speakers at the intense one-day workshop on algae commercialization on June 12, 2009 at the Doubletree Castle Hotel in Orlando, Florida include Bob Wheeler of Aquatic Eco-Systems, PetroAlgae vice-president Fred Tennant, Fluid Imaging Technologies CEO Kent Peterson, Femtobeam CEO Robin Ore, and Sustainable Life Center president Tom Butler, among others.

More information on attending or presenting at the NAA Mid-South Chapter workshop, “Algae: The Race for New Oil” is available at the NAA website .
