Riggs Eckelberry, chief executive officer of OriginOil a specialist in using algae to make biofuel and absorb carbon dioxide emissions, said he’s been expecting a rise in crude prices.

Eckelberry said OriginOil’s partner in Australia, MBD Energy, has drawn strong interest from investors in an algae facility planned near a power plant in Queensland.

“They’re doing a phenomenal job of raising money in a very conservative region,” he said. “That’s a big indicator” that oil prices are helping alternative forms of energy, he said. “This is a tipping point, there’s no doubt about it,” he said.
