The Scripps Photobiology Group has been hosting
a series on the commercialization of algae, with a focus on the possible
production of biofuels from algae.
The puropse of this
forum is to exchange information and spur collaborative conversation about the
role that microalgae could play in shaping our energy future, and in developing
ways to investigate and utilize the primary production of marine and freshwater
systems to produce beneficial energy products.
Topics have included profiles of existing systems for the
large-scale production of microalgae, the focus of major energy company
interests in this field, prospects and estimates for energy production,
particularly biodiesel, and academic investigations into limiting factors such
as strain selection, photobioreactor design, and ecological and contamination
issues. PDFs of available presentations are attached to this page.
