Origin Oil’s President and CEO, Riggs Eckelberry, will presentwill present an algae productivity model to “industry leaders and fellow members” at National Algae Association’s quarterly conference in Houston on September 18, 2009.
This sounds hugely interesting! Anyone going to the conference? Will it be possible for non-members to have a look at the model?
“A good baseline model for productivity of industrialized algae is critical to the billions being invested in the algae segment,” said Eckelberry. “It is our intention to share as much of this as we can to foster collaboration and help quantify industry productivity, raw material requirements including energy, capital requirements and potential ROI.”
