It would be difficult to find a biomass stream that is garnering as much excitement, investment and optimism as algae currently is. By nearly any measure, if algae achieves the potential many industry insiders think it has, this energy crop will be a game changer in the biomass to energy space.

Panelists in this session will provide a snapshot of where the industry is regionally, nationally and globally.
