Growdiesel Climate Care Council is pleased to invite you to the International Workshop on Algae Biofuels to be held on 12th & 13th April 2010 in India. The workshop is focused on next generation of Biofuels using Algae as the main feedstock. The summit offers an excellent opportunity for investors, entrepreneurs, Biofuel companies, renewable fuel experts, their associates and academia to share their valuable experiences and knowledge.

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.
