PetroSun announces final testing for algae biofuel process

PetroSun Inc. announced in the first week of Feb 2007 that the testing of the cultivation of algae for biodiesel production has now progressed to the final stage.

The next stage will be the construction of a commercial cultivation facility.

This final stage will consist of producing adequate algae to test the output and economics of several biodiesel refinery manufacturers now being considered by the company Algae Biofuels, a subsidiary of PetroSun.

Algae BioFuels is considering sites in Arizona, New Mexico, California, Louisiana and Michigan for its initial commercial cultivation of algae feedstock in the United States. In the market places abroad, Australia and China are the leading candidates for production and refinery operations.

Personalities mentioned: Gordon LeBlanc, Jr., CEO of PetroSun.

Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature's way again
