Algae BioFuel & The Future of Energy, Dr. Anthony Michaels

Currently the world's power consumption is 508 quadrillion BTU's annually, and is expected to grow by 44% over the next 20 years far exceeding fossil fuel energy capacity, showing a large need for renewable energy sources. Dr. Anthony Michaels is Founder of Phycosystems Algae BioFuel & Proteus Environmental Technologies. Phycosystem's approach produces cheaper energy and an array of energy products (electricity, liquid biofuel, hydrogen, etc.) from algae while producing income to subsidize the energy production, yielding economical and sustainable energy. Similarly, Proteus Environmental Technologies maintains an array of projects researching the latest in alternative energy.Algae are the ultimate renewable fuel. They are the fastest growing plants on earth, using sunlight, carbon dioxide and nutrients to store energy in their biomass. They hold the promise of fulfilling a large part of the global requirements for liquid fuels and energy on an area of land equal to only 1-5% of the world's arable land. PhycoSystems brings together a unique technical and business team around a strategy for cost-effective production of algae based energy products.More Info & RSVP: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=115344918477183
