PetroAlgae Takes Its Message of Commercialization of Next Generation Biofuels to World Biofuels Markets 09

BRUSSELS - At World Biofuels Markets (WBM) 09, the scene last year of mass protests
against corn and soy based biofuels, PetroAlgae (OTC Bulletin Board: PALG)
will this year help demonstrate the near-term commercial viability of
algae-based biofuel. In contrast with corn and soy, algae does not compete
with the food supply, actually consumes C02 (2.2 times its own weight),
leaves no toxic waste during the harvesting process, is essentially carbon
neutral and is 25x to 100x more productive than other crop feedstocks.
PetroAlgae can replace the entire world’s supply of diesel on a very small
fraction of the Earth’s landmass.
