World Biofuels Markets 2012 Puts Algae Under A Microscope

March 1, 2012 - PRLog -- (March 1, 2012) LONDON – More than 1,500 delegates and industry experts will put algae to the test at the upcoming World Biofuels Markets (www.worldbiofuelsmarkets.com), March 13-15 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Algae, which is widely recognised as one of the most promising advanced biofuels feedstocks because of its high oil yield, ability to grow around the globe, and potential to be price competitive with petroleum, will be put under the microscope as the latest information on harvesting, dewatering, and modification techniques is shared, and scalability is debated. Speakers include executives from leading algae companies Bio Architecture Lab, Solix Biofuels, Algaetech, UniVerve Biofuel, Subtic, E4Tech, and the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands.

“Everyone from U.S. President Obama, to leading scientists, to investors around the world are talking about algae, so our stream focusing on the latest issues in the industry is timely for our attendees,” said Claire Poole, Event Director for World Biofuels Markets. “With the development of pilot and demonstration projects, all the promise of algae is starting to become reality and we look forward to exploring timelines and existing hurdles the industry is addressing.”

In addition to sessions focused on algae, delegates at the World Biofuels Markets will hear from keynote speakers and executives from companies ranging from early-stage biofuels start-ups, to world-leading financial institutions, and global energy companies. Other topics addressed the conference include Aviation Sustainability, Energy Crops, Emerging Markets, Bio-based Chemicals, Waste to biofuels, Finance & Investment, and Biogas in Transportation.
