PetroSun, Inc. announced today the following activities related to its domestic algae-to-biofuels program.

The Company is a project participant in a number of USDA-DOE and DOE projects that have filed applications for federal funding. These projects are designed to demonstrate that micro algae and macro algae are a commercially viable feedstock for our future energy needs.

PetroSun is a USDA-DOE project participant with Carnegie Mellon, the University of New Hampshire and Simply Green Biofuels in a proposal submitted as the Life Cycle Assessment of Algae-based Biofuels.

A USDA-DOE project was applied for by the University of Arizona and includes PetroSun, Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Renascent Energy, Carbon2Algae, Innovative Trade Development Center, USDA Laboratory (Peoria, IL) and Pukyong University (South Korea) as pre-application participants of a project titled as the Production of Advanced Biofuels from Algae.

A DOE grant proposal application was submitted by the University of Arizona for the Demonstration of a Sustainable and Integrated Algae-Oil Biorefinery in the Semi-Arid U.S. Southwest. Participants in this program include the University of Arizona, Arizona Public Service, PetroSun, Texas A&M, Purdue University, Renascent Energy, ABRI-Tech, Carbon2Algae and Rolls Royce.
