Washington, United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]

Taking a look back at the recently held 2008 Algae Biomass Summit that took place from October 23-24 in Seattle, it is hard to believe how far this young industry has come in just one year.Last fall, the Inaugural Algae Biomass Summit had a solid group of 350 attendees who came to discuss algae's future in renewable energy. Out of that conference the Algal Biomass Organization (ABO) was formed with the mission to accelerate the development of the algae industry.

European regulations for bio emmisions

The European Union has repeatedly defined the role of biofuels as "strategic", namely the role of "a liquid or gaseous fuel for transport, produced from biomass". Biomass refers to "the biodegradable fraction of products, waste and residues from agriculture (including vegetable and animal substances), forestry and related industries, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial and municipal waste".
