Lolland, Denmark
An international team of world-famous scientists, engineers, and economists will assemble on Lolland this spring to consider the possibility of making the biofuels of the future from microscopic algae. Why is the workshop on Lolland? With the world’s first and largest installation of offshore windmills, Lolland is the natural location for this algae workshop because of its long commitment to alternative energy development and because its windmill farms could serve as an excellent location for the installation of the first offshore algae cultivation facility.
The international workshop will take place from April 20-22, 2009 and is organized by Baltic Sea Solutions (Bass) along with an international scientific team led by Dr. Jonathan Trent, Adjunct Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz and Science Lead for the Global Research into Energy and the Environment at NASA (GREEN). The other scientific team members are: Dr. Lene Lange, Vice Dean of Research for the Faculties of Engineering, Natural Sciences and Medicine at Aalborg University, Denmark. Dr. Qiang Hu, Professor, Department of Applied Biological Sciences, Arizona State University. Dr. Maurice Averner, NASA Program Manager (Retired), NASA Fundamental Biology Program. Dr. Peter Lindblad, Professor, Department of Photochemistry and Molecular Science, Uppsala University, Sweden.
