"Algae: The Race for New Oil"
National Algae Association Mid-South Chapter announces that Ronald Pate of Sandia Labs will speak at "Algae: The Race for New Oil" workshop in Orlando, Florida.
The NAA Mid-South Chapter is pleased to announce that Ronald Pate of Sandia National Laboratories will speak in behalf of the DOE on the OBP's Recovery Act Funding Opportunities at our June 12, Orlando workshop. The recent news of $50 million in proposed funding for grants related to algal biofuels has spurred great interest in developing algae biofuels partnerships and initiating the data gathering process for grant applications. Ron Pate will address these topics and offer valuable insight into algae research based on his past work at Sandia Labs.
Other speakers at the intense one-day workshop on algae commercialization on June 12, 2009 at the Doubletree Castle Hotel in Orlando, Florida include Bob Wheeler of Aquatic Eco-Systems, Fluid Imaging Technologies CEO Kent Peterson, Femtobeam CEO Robin Ore, Sustainable Life Center president Tom Butler, and Jim Mulry of Millipore Corp. among others.
Tamra Fakhoorian, president of the NAA Mid-South Chapter says, "We have seen amazing developments in algae commercialization during this past year. NAA conferences and workshops have played an important role in bringing together the history-makers who are turning 'algae for biofuels' into a household phrase.".
"The NAA is all about Collaboration + Innovation = Commercialization!" Barry Cohen, director of the NAA adds, "NAA's mission is focused on fast-tracking commercialization of algae. Our quarterly conferences and workshops are attended by producers, equipment manufacturers, researchers, engineers, along with members of the legal, investment and financial communities."
