Executive Director's Report


Today you have an opportunity to personally help create jobs, reduce emissions 
and unleash the power of innovative technologies across the country. 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!

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.  In June, the Senators joined together for a 
colloquy<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hODLz3Jb6cDv_0OX8xdMH0Kbh-lnwBbGSPzNqVVMmSs7WS-JuMlv_l0-csi8Ce_IX-ppdbGWU9fzR4rrfemA1hU7vnZhvBWkB9E74ks_VB2Gh1NnM0Q894XIzCOP_oRoWt50WaHvbqwkAPt_8khERws-ZMJDf0Mh2tbOjCIuCv5QMqpFfNoLVUalSOwIHETeFpmZ8SE5d4zeUkWKSjhmlE7OqqC6BJj3ukoSZ1C22QudJLrn3FIQWvjNZj9TIw4aJzbaP5f-oDdEi0-rnBdv7T3X5BViDve2Pdp2FQjqfZQaLaQTyq31Nw==&c=ePDJoYdTY4CGbU6WyAfxmNoMqAyiZ8rf4uzvSCcdWhRwcddBI5dcjQ==&ch=-bUeU4xbMKv12rhqGLiTyXoXZk4f3-Yfyc1FCTH4VtvvhJQJTouW9Q==>
