Algae farming for oil is the next biggest opportunity for Biofuel industry. Algae like corn, soybeans, sugar cane and other plants (like Jatropha), use photosynthesis to convert solar energy into chemical energy. They store this energy in the form of oils, carbohydrates, proteins, etc. The plant oil is 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. Among the most photo synthetically efficient plants on this earth are various types of algae.

We cordially invite you to the Algae Biofuel Summit 2008, to enjoy an excellent technical program, be amongst friends and colleagues and enjoy the INDIAN hospitality.
