The Algal Biomass Organization has called on the US Department of Energy (DoE) to provide a clear vision for its plans for algae-based fuels and energy; promote public-private partnerships to accelerate commercialization; and give algae parity with other feedstocks with regard to tax incentives, regulatory and other federal policies. The call came as part of the ABO's comments made in response to the DoE's National Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap consultation program which ended last week.
