NAA's 5th Annual Algae Production Certification Program and Commercial Algae Production Growing, Harvesting and Extraction Networking Workshop.

The National Algae Association


October 19-20th, 2012

Hilton Home-wood Suites
29813 I-45 North, The Woodlands, TX 77381


The National Algae Association is the first non-profit algae production trade association in the US. To continue the fast-track commercialization and commercial scale-up of the algae production industry, the National Algae Association is offering its highly popular Algae Production Certification program which is designed to appeal to algaepreneurs, oil executives, farmers, researchers, engineers, economic development, investors, professionals and students to learn about algae strains, growing, harvesting, extraction technologies and economics. This is a great algae networking opportunity for collaboration, strategic relationships, JV's and potential investment. Algae is one solution to help the US get off of foreign oil, become energy independent and create new jobs. It is expected to be a $1.4 billion dollar market for oil and co-products.

In continuing its efforts to fast-track commercial algae production, National Algae Association's next workshop will be held on October 20, 2012 in The Woodlands, Texas. The focus will be on progress in commercial growing, harvesting and extraction methods, along with proven technologies that are ready for commercial-scale algae production.


When American algae producers, harvesting and extraction technology companies, researchers, equipment manufacturers, process engineers and potential investors who ALL AGREE that algae is one solution to help get the US off of foreign oil join together in an open collaborative environment, good things happen!

The NAA has challenged the industry to build the first 100 acre algae farm, to prove CAPEX and OPEX financial models and prove economies of scale. Algae researchers and the algae producers are creating new relationships and opportunities in a commercial environment. Innovative leadership, collaboration efforts and consultancy have been rewarded with each new press release announcing a new JV/partnership, strategic alliance or commercial production technology tested and ready to be scaled.
