Arizona is poised to become a major player in the multi-billion dollar algae-biofuel industry, and Governor Jan Brewer dedicated two million dollars to support important research and development that promises to develop alternative fuels and propel the state's economy into the future.
Several hundred of the world's leading energy scientists and industry representatives gathered for the announcement during the Algal Biomass Organization's national conference, which is taking place this week in Phoenix.
"Our state has the potential to be a national and global leader in algae research and biotechnology, reducing America's dependence on fossil fuel while increasing opportunities in a new industry that will create promising new jobs for Arizonans," said Governor Brewer. "Science Foundation Arizona funded early state work in Algal research; now combined with excellence at ASU, our state will build on this important research and commercialization opportunity."
In awarding the funding, Governor Brewer called on Science Foundation Arizona to lead the state effort in support of a new Arizona Center for Algae Technologies and Innovations.
