PetroSun BioFuels Proposes New Crop to Catfish Farmers at the Mississippi Biomass Council Meeting

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

PetroSun, Inc. announced that PetroSun BioFuels, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Biomass Partners presented an Aquaculture Algae to Algal Oil Program at the Mississippi Biomass Council meeting held November 5th in Jackson, Mississippi.

PetroSun BioFuels and Biomass Partners have identified in excess of 80,000 acres of catfish ponds within the state of Mississippi. Based on an annual potential production rate of 2,000 gallons per acre, the existing 80,000 acres of ponds would produce 160 million gallons of algal oil annually for conversion to biodiesel. The remaining algae biomass could be processed into ethanol, animal feed, fertilizer and other products.

Interested parties may contact Terri Chiang of Biomass Partners via email at terri@biomasspartner.com or 251-978-7788 to discuss qualifications and to schedule a site visit.
