Australia has been increasingly dependent on overseas fuel supply. It is believed that 85 per cent of Australia's transport fuel now comes from overseas. All that might change! According to researchers, within 20 years the country could produce commercial oil from algae and could potentially match the output of the Middle East.

Experts from University of Queensland (UQ) have discovered that with the particular species of algae found in Australia it is possible to produce algae biodiesel at a lower cost, which would not only compete with fossil fuels but would do so by emitting less greenhouse gas.

According to Prof Dr Ben Hankamer, Director, Solar Biofuels Consortium, Queensland Prof at Institute for Molecular Bioscience, the University of Queensland:

"The development of sustainable fuel systems is one of the most urgent challenges facing our society, due to the need to reduce CO2 emissions, increase fuel security and develop a sustainable basis for economic development into the future"

Join Prof Dr. Ben Hankamer at the 3rd Algae World Australia, on 26-28 August, in Adelaide, as he speaks on 'Towards high efficiency photo bioreactor systems' and discusses issues such as 'determining effective algae strains and bioreactor designs'. He'll also give you an outline of the developments at University of Queensland and discuss the process of producing algae with highly effective PBR systems.

There is a lot more in addition to above. Take a look at the complete program here.

Do not miss joining the experts at this Summit to gather all you want to know about:

Developments in Macroalgae & microalgae for Food, Pharma, Supplement markets
Genetically modified Microalgae for High Value Added Products
Perspective on sustainable aviation biofuels and the support for algae-to-biofuels research
Algae based waste water treatment with new developments from US and Japan

Besides the main summit, two separately bookable site visits are included in the agenda. To enhance your understanding of how algae are cultivated and harvested, you can opt for the pre-conference site visit to the Chemical Engineering Lab, University of Adelaide.

The post-conference site visit to SARDI Aquatic Sciences and Flinders University shows you the practical application of biofuel feedstock technologies and how microalgal and macroalgal products are identified and developed.

Don't delay! REGISTER today to participate in 3rd Algae World Australia and stay up to speed with the technological advancements!

We look forward to welcoming your team in Adelaide.
