Does China and the rest of Asia have the resource potential, experience and facility for algae production ?
By 2020, China needs to reach its alternative fuels goal which mandates 15% of total transportation fuels from biofuels. Faced with increasing reluctance to use food for fuel, China needs to diversify to algae oil and is indeed taking it seriously.
Taking centre-stage now is the realisation of algae as part of a carbon capture project .Integrating carbon capture with algae products production could really prove a major win for China - the world's largest GHG emitter.
Can it be the alternative source of protein for cattle and poultry feeds ? | Seize the opportunity and get your answers clarified at CMT's 4th Algae World ASIA.

Optional Site Visit on 16th Nov Afternoon
ENN is a fast-growing Chinese energy company . The 24,000 employee, 4 US$billion company, is heavily involved in the energy business and developing technology to pass carbon dioxide through algae to help reduce China's greenhouse gas emissions from their coal power plants that currently provide 70% of the electrical energy needs of the country.
Coal is first gasified in a simulated underground environment. The carbon dioxide is extracted with the help of solar and wind power, then "fed" to algae, which can be then used to make biofuel, fertiliser or animal feed
The site visit is in Langfang , an hour's drive from Beijing. It will include a tour of the laboratory where a team of scientists are testing microalgae to clean up the back-end of a uniquely integrated process to extract and use coal more efficiently and cleanly than is possible today.
It's part of a joint venture between ENN and Duke Energy, the largest US public utility.
Delegates of the site visit will get to see 1) Cultivation of microalgae in different PBRs and open ponds . The cultivation system will use the Co2 from the pilot coal gasification plant at the site. 2) Part of the scaled-up dewatering /harvesting/lipids extraction system 3) Algae National Key Bioenergy lab on algae strains, cultivation, PBRs, harvesting,lipids extraction

Seambiotic, an Israeli-based leader in the development and production of marine microalgae for the nutraceuticals and biofuel industries in collaboration with the Israeli Electric Corporation was the first to confirm and patented the application of flue gas emitted and scrubbed from power plant smokestack for successful cultivation of microalgae. Seambiotic grows and processes marine microalgae for the nutraceutical and biofuel industries while acting as a carbon capture technology.
Seambiotic’s commercial pilot plant in Israel, has led to some positive developments for the company and the environment. The company has five business deals in the works in the United States, Italy and in China, where it’s launched its first commercial algae farm recently. Seambiotic is also working with the NASA to develop a commercially feasible biofuel variety from algae. It recently signed a joint venture with Yantai Hairong Electricity Technology and Penglai Weiyuan Science & Trading and will utilize Seambiotic's unique technology for the cultivation of a number of types of microalgae for use in the animal and fish feed and nutraceutical industries.
For power plants which are large-scale emitters of CO2, capturing Co2 using algae will help a great deal in monetizing the carbon credits also providing algae biofuels. Elaborating on this , Prof. Ami Ben Amotz , Chief Scientific Adviser from Seambiotic Ltd / The National Institute of Oceanography will share his presentation on“Developing Economically Feasible Algal Integrated System to Capture CO2 from Power Plants” at CMT’s 4th Algae World Asia conference in Beijing on 15th & 16th of November 2011.

Alltech has built an impressive production facility in Winchester, Kentucky, USA for producing feed from algae. Equipped with a fully functional pilot plant it is a scaled-down replica of its large production system. Built in the 1980s to ferment yeast using whey produced by an adjacent dairy, Alltech bought it last year from Martek Biosciences Corp for $14 million. Alltech will use the 15-acre facility to research, develop and produce many kinds of algae for animal nutritional supplements.
In general, commercially-grown algae is widely expected to see an increase in demand as an alternative food source, because of its high nutritional value. Algae have enormous potential for feed. Overall it appears that there is a huge market potential arising for the use of lipid extracted algae in the cattle feed industry. With a growing population to feed, algae are expected to become an increasingly important source of protein for animal feeds supplements.

The first, simplest, and fastest-growing life form, algae holds unheralded promise to become a pivotal resource for the planet’s future as the basis for a high quality biodiesel that does not siphon food from humans. And it is not just a fuel. It is animal feed, human food and the building block for a wide range of biodegradable bio-plastics to replace petroleum-based plastics. And algae does all this as it grows by absorbing enormous amounts of CO2, the very greenhouse gas we most urgently need to reduce.
The 4th Algae World Asia travels to Beijing from 15 to 16 November 2011 with an all new interactive and intensive sessions on the market prospects in Asia Pacific, as well as emerging technological achievements worldwide.
Besides algae for aquaculture markets, the 4th Algae World Asia will also discuss the challenges in bringing algae to commodity scale, genetic engineering of microalgae to produce high-end products, and applications of algae for high end nutritional products.
On Day 2 afternoon, delegates of 4th Algae World Asia can opt to visit ENN International Algae Facility in Langfang, an hour's drive from Beijing. It is a fast-growing Chinese energy company, a joint venture between ENN and Duke Energy, the largest US public utility. The trip will include a tour of the laboratory as well as a visit to the bioreactors, where delegates get to see the greenhouse filled with walls of clear glass tubing through which the green sludge circulates.
Important Notice
The site visit is an optional program for the 4th Algae World Asia conference and is open to registered delegates only. As seats are limited these will be allocated based on first-come-first-served basis. One must indicate this option when signing up for the conference. Additional cost applies.
