);" target="_blank" title="Algae World 2008">Algae World 2008 panelist Dr. Avigad Vonshak, Director of the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research (BIDR), the research arm of Ben-Gurion University and the only non-US laboratory involved in the US Department of Energy's Aquatic Species Program.
According to Dr. Vonshak, who shared his views on the commercialization challenges, "There is no doubt that algal biomass represents a viable source of renewable energy. Yet these challenges must be overcome for the commercial success of Algal Biofuels."
He went on to add, "The further development of this industry is being held back by the relatively high costs of production, the focus on health food market, and the lack of biological know-how."
Webinar participants can contribute and help shape this interesting discussion. Participants can pre-submit questions to Dr. Edwards and Dr. Vonshak, which will be addressed during the 30 minute question and answer session.
