NAA calls for proposals for January meeting, support for 100-acre algal production demo
In Texas, members of the National Algae Association have developed preliminary designs for a 100 acre commercial-scale algae production system and have identified the majority of the CAPEX and OPEX issues. Meanwhile, the NAA has challenged the industry to build the first 100 acres, to prove out true costs and economies of scale, and to give algae researchers opportunities, for the first time, to work in a commercial-scale setting.
The NAA also announced that its January 13-14, 2011 conference will focus on technologies ready to be scaled-up and progress in growing, harvesting and extraction methods, along with proven technologies that are ready for commercial-scale algae production. Presentation proposals will be accepted through November 15, 2010.
