Extensive research on algae has spurred a trail of development plans in the MENA region. In years to come, algae's potential as a renewable and cost-effective biofuel will be propelled into global markets. With such optimistic worldwide market prospect, many influential industry players are quick in entering the MENA region to gain their grounds and establish partnerships.
Offering optimal growth conditions of vast deserts with plentiful sunshine, wastewater and carbon dioxide, MENA is definitely the region to break into in preparation for the upcoming sustainable biofuel phenomena.
Stay competitive with the latest knowledge and technology. Attend the AlgaeWorld MENA Summit in Dubai, 25-26 February 2013, to keep in step with developments, especially in the MENA region where rapid advancements and projects are taking place, such as the Algae Biorefinery Project in Saudi Arabia.
Hear directly from Prof. Radhouan Ben-Hamadou, Research Associate, Centre of Marine Sciences Deputy Director, UNESCO-International Centre for Coastal Ecohydrology, as he sheds light on the Algae Biorefinery Project in Saudi Arabia, allowing you access to in-depth knowledge and implications of this high-profile strategy in the industry.
Among industry leaders speaking at the summit is Qatar Airways Group, who is a partner in the Qatar Advanced Biofuel Platform consortium with Qatar Petroleum, Qatar University Science and Technology Park, and Rolls-Royce, accentuating the airline's position and experience in sustainable aviation biofuels.
Captain Dr. H.C. Chris Schroder, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, Environment & Fuel Projects, Qatar Airways Group will address alternative feedstocks, costs and technology.
