And all it will take is 30 seconds. We've launched a White House We the People petition asking the administration to encourage the EPA to explicitly recognize carbon capture and utilization (CCU) as a viable method for states to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The lack of such certainty is a roadblock to a host of incredible technologies that re-utilize carbon and convert it into valuable products. Click here to sign the petition.<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hODLz3Jb6cDv_0OX8xdMH0Kbh-lnwBbGSPzNqVVMmSs7WS-JuMlv_o2YwFw4fYTN77kk61uoxSeljkC-O6jguO4EDNGyQgyEg5c7aWpVIvQt8lFvwbLgE0AP7dVn1Dpwg_RF4g9t46AH4xDnkaiS-8hklyCpq53yaeqXA2jtqVZx13AuuvRbL4NjVk_4KUtV4SqpTNy_A5qxBp5k1jXFrDnX6W4aNAnm4D5OjrKutxDuxv841oSI7Sr5wlQqaJIqcjh9MvaKSnn2gqsds_fr0gy4dRJs3AlY6sYP_OGCjHhEWdFMCyzG2Aq-fw2Mubr2Ly1PMf1Dmobb1VxqG2WLBQ==&c=ePDJoYdTY4CGbU6WyAfxmNoMqAyiZ8rf4uzvSCcdWhRwcddBI5dcjQ==&ch=-bUeU4xbMKv12rhqGLiTyXoXZk4f3-Yfyc1FCTH4VtvvhJQJTouW9Q==> It takes about 30 seconds and can help not just the algae industry but many other technologies. CCU is an alternative to carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), which entails injecting carbon dioxide underground. Ironically, this process is increasingly being used in spent oil wells, where it frees up previously unrecoverable crude oil, effectively zeroing out any emissions benefit from capturing CO2 at the stack. We believe there's a better use than burying CO2 - reusing it. A number of approaches are being examined that would make CCU a reality, and turn the problem of carbon dioxide disposal into an advantage. Several algae companies are actively looking to harness algae's natural advantages and capture carbon dioxide from power plants and other sources, thereby reducing emissions and providing a benefit, rather than a cost. Unfortunately the latest rules proposed by the EPA's Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources put a big emphasis on burying carbon underground with CCS, rather than prioritizing the waste reduction philosophy we are all used to: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. CCU was a hot topic at the Algae Biomass Summit in San Diego, and ABO intends to keep the pressure on the EPA while it finalizes the rules that dictate how states can meet their emissions targets. We must not miss this opportunity. After you have signed the petition, I encourage you to also submit comments directly to the EPA via email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Be sure to include docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0602 in the subject line of the message. Your email should ask the EPA to include in the final rule of the proposed Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources language that clarifies that carbon capture and utilization would be an acceptable component in state emissions reduction plans. Such affirmative recognition would provide states and sources of private capital with the confidence to invest in this highly promising CO2 solution while helping to create a market for CO2 that reduces the cost of compliance. You can read more about how to submit comments on the EPA's website<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hODLz3Jb6cDv_0OX8xdMH0Kbh-lnwBbGSPzNqVVMmSs7WS-JuMlv_l0-csi8Ce_ICzpg6la3ZjF5xcGPWIcw9z9FblxwOBz6CXntNBENzs6D2DU9ZazBnjtMkTHuSWljXB4PhYgGDpa_q4sUuy-OXHAG6AS0OF_X0ARay266Vpi56lllY1Amzx63w35n7SnsjjDLJSne6fT-QuOeEBEKuWFmdK7148087BW2usFMr766MFJkexgySun1sJl6QsHMKrw9lyOFJb0=&c=ePDJoYdTY4CGbU6WyAfxmNoMqAyiZ8rf4uzvSCcdWhRwcddBI5dcjQ==&ch=-bUeU4xbMKv12rhqGLiTyXoXZk4f3-Yfyc1FCTH4VtvvhJQJTouW9Q==>. ABO has also set up a website with more about our White House petition and the proven potential of CCU<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hODLz3Jb6cDv_0OX8xdMH0Kbh-lnwBbGSPzNqVVMmSs7WS-JuMlv_m3Dn8FDjkDoug_YgMH4S9rj8JbQeuIG3F1iMKkM5oZts23nV1W1act3Pa2FJ4WncklfONt-HGd8Kc1JgFwvi2g8yg0W5CCZ8f2tu0DJQ3L7jpu7SuUyqlOptByT3N0eZwsmonvdYNlw&c=ePDJoYdTY4CGbU6WyAfxmNoMqAyiZ8rf4uzvSCcdWhRwcddBI5dcjQ==&ch=-bUeU4xbMKv12rhqGLiTyXoXZk4f3-Yfyc1FCTH4VtvvhJQJTouW9Q==>. I encourage you to forward these instructions to all of your colleagues that want to see our climate change policy aligned with the latest technologies that are poised to make a big difference in our environmental and energy security. EPA needs to know that there are thousands of Americans working every day to bring algae and other CO2 utilization technologies to reality, and that the final Clean Power Plan rule has the potential to either unleash this incredible innovation if done right, or stifle this vital component of climate change mitigation if done wrong. Please ask everyone who works at your organization, their families, your customers, suppliers, and friends to sign the petition today and encourage them to submit formal comments as well. Let's let EPA hear the voice of Algae Nation. I firmly believe the EPA will listen if our network can send the message. Please take a moment now to sign the petition and send your comments to the EPA. Sincerely, Matt Carr Executive Director Algae Biomass Organization Algae Biomass Summit Recap Just three weeks ago more than 600 industry leaders gathered in San Diego to hear presentations by top officials from the Department of Energy, the USDA, CEO's of leading algae companies, researchers from universities and national labs, and experts in national security, technology development and industry. [Summit in San Diego]We heard updates from executives at Algenol, BioProcess Algae, Heliae, Matrix Genetics, Sapphire Energy, ALGIX, LLC, Cellana, Earthrise Nutritionals, Synthetic Genomics and Muradel. Not only did we hear from more commercialization projects than ever before, we also heard that more companies were not going to sit back and focus on one fuel or technology. The full potential of algae can't be ignored and that's starting to show in business strategies across the industry. We also heard of continued support from the federal government. David Danielson, Assistant Secretary of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy announced up $25 million in funding that will be targeted toward reducing the cost of algal biofuels<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hODLz3Jb6cDv_0OX8xdMH0Kbh-lnwBbGSPzNqVVMmSs7WS-JuMlv_sn6-rYkBuENEAM_aCzjFqcP1_oHw3RbLIbx5S97oIlas6K4-ixAah99TVKuYAPf0ybwguWYHxiaWuoyQvIGVJqIe13xp3mw9CjlQ1gqa1Llx5r7ih8u3uC09lm22qeGpzrUVZATs8_f6mFyaBLDDfnzjbpcDmBDOTupOeDeRS_XTMCXBRfASlche2kkV0shHTR06T0FPCqH5HoXEXR-e53j2nGW06NcSw==&c=ePDJoYdTY4CGbU6WyAfxmNoMqAyiZ8rf4uzvSCcdWhRwcddBI5dcjQ==&ch=-bUeU4xbMKv12rhqGLiTyXoXZk4f3-Yfyc1FCTH4VtvvhJQJTouW9Q==>. Dennis McGinn, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Energy, Installations & Environment addressed attendees of the Summit with one simple message from the Navy for algae biofuel producers: If you make algae-based fuels, the Navy will buy them. These talks were just a few of those that featured updates on algal Omega-3s, wastewater treatment projects, fertilizers, medicines and countless other applications for algae. Exciting results, such as those from trials of algae-based fertilizers produced by Accelergy that increased crop yields and medical research from Verdant Therapeutics that could leverage algae to fight child mortality in developing nations, generated significant buzz in breakout sessions. Daniel Fabricant, CEO & Executive Director of the Natural Products Association provided invaluable insights on the processes faced by food and nutrition product developers as they seek approvals from the Food and Drug Administration. Companies such as algal plastics producer Algix were on the lookout for new sources of algae feedstocks, providing specifications for interested producers. Throughout the event we were all reminded of the great potential algae have to tackle problems such as climate change, food supplies, as well as energy and water shortages. Next year the Summit will be in Washington, DC, where we will have a chance to showcase our progress to the agencies, staff and elected officials that are tasked with solving so many of these challenges. See you there! Learn Algae Cultivation Basics This November 3-7, ATP3 in Arizona is hosting a workshop for those interested in learning algae cultivation and processing techniques.

Senators Compare Notes on Carbon Utilization In a sign of growing awareness among policy makers of carbon utilization as a climate change mitigation platform, Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) paid a joint visit to ABO platinum member BioProcess Algae in Portsmouth, RI, to see first-hand how algae can be used to convert waste CO2 into valuable products at cost-competitive prices. The visit was part of a two-state tour by the Senate colleagues to witness the impacts of climate change on coastal communities and the importance of coal in West Virginia.
