Jon Hall, President and General Manager of West Texas BioEnergy, LLC and NAA Certified Algaepreneur, will be attending the Algae Growing, Harvesting and Extraction Technologies – Collaboration, Strategic Alliances and Networking Conference being hosted by the National Algae Association at Biotech Institute – Lone Star College, The Woodlands, Texas on January 13 and 14, 2011.
The conference provides an opportunity to meet and work with other algaepreneurs who have the commitment to accelerate the growth of our economy, to keep the $700 billion/year we spend on foreign oil here in the US., and to create energy independence and millions of jobs by fast-tracking commercial-scale algae production.
The attendees will also have the opportunity to network and form strategic alliances with algae producers, equipment manufacturers and algae researchers who all share a common interest in helping the US get off of foreign oil – “we need commercial-scale algae production NOW.”
Preceding the conference, NAA will be hosting the second sitting of the Algae Production Certification Program on January 12th.
