The National Algae Association is the first non-profit algae education and production trade association in the world established 12 years ago. Our members are commercially-minded algae researchers, algae producers, equipment companies and universities.
Our members working with universities are currently co-located at City Wastewater Treatment facilities cleaning wastewater using algae. Chevron is testing algae to clean refinery water. Some algae producer members are using the nutrients from wastewater and secondary water to grow algae for potential co-products such as biofertilizer, bioplastics and potential fuels. A potential win-win! (see links below)
