Sustainability: Proposed algae biofuel mini-plants to be built U.S. High Schools and Universities

[b cole]

Algae: The new oil is catching on with academia. We have recently been asked by high schools and universities to write curriculum about the benefits and uses of algae biofuel. With oil at $113 per barrel, it makes a lot of sense. Our members have been asken to write curriculum and to build mini-algae oil plants (both algae ponds and closed loop systems) on school property to be run by students. Algae biofuel will be used for their fleets.

Nice! Where are these school projects taking place? Looking at your website, it looks like you had a Forum last week on the topic, any key learnings or takeaways?

A high school in Northern California and a university in Southern New Jersey. If you watch our website: www.nationalalgaeassociation.com, we will be posting all presentations from our forum very shortly.
