Algae Biofuel Workshop 2010

12th & 13th April 2010, India 

While number of bio-feed stock are currently being tried for bio-diesel production, out of which algae have emerged as one of the most promising source for bio-diesel production to reduce the burden of oil crises and fast depleting fossil oil reserves.  Algae are emerging as preferred feed stock for global biofuel industry owing to their non-food nature, capability to grow on waste land with sea water and highest oil yield per acre.

Algae farming for oil is the next biggest opportunity for the Biofuel industry. Algae, like corn, soybeans, sugar cane, Jatropha, and other plants, use photosynthesis to convert solar energy into chemical energy. They store this energy in the form of oils, carbohydrates, and proteins. The plant oil can be converted to biodiesel; hence biodiesel is a form of solar energy. The more efficient a particular plant is at converting that solar energy into chemical energy, the better it is from a biodiesel perspective, and algae are among the most photosynthetically efficient plants on earth.

During last one year, Growdiesel has organized three highly successful international summits “Algae Biofuel Summit 2008” from 17^th to 19^th September 2008 , “Energy Farming Summit 2009” on 12^th & 13^th April 2009 & "2nd Algae Biofuel Summit 2009"8th to 10th September 2009 in India. These summits was attended by researchers, scientist, top management experts and delegates from leading research institutes, universities and reputed organizations from over 21 countries across the world.
