Gold Coast Energy Firm Goes Green, to Get Oil from Algae

15 May 07

ICON Energy, the Robina-based oil explorer, has gone green in its latest venture with a plan to snare a stake in a US bio-diesel business.

The company, which for years has been searching for oil in Louisiana as well as the Surat Basin in Australia, has signed a letter of intent with PetroSun Inc of Arizona for a 20 per cent share of a licence to produce bio-diesel from algae.
