OriginOil to address the UN concerning the benefits of Algae Biofuels
Riggs Eckelberry, the CEO of OriginOil, will be addressing the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Organization (IREO) Renewable Energy Conference this Thursday, June 11th. The Conference will cover biofuels and their feasibility.
During the 3:45 session entitled, “Future of Renewable Energy,” Eckelberry will discuss the viability of biofuels and progress that his company, OriginOil, has made within that field. Moderated by Dr. Carl Liggio, formerly of US Power Generating Company, the event will also feature key speakers that include Dr. Arthur Nozik of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Ron Smith of Verdant Power, HRH Prince Malik ado Ibrahim of Nigeria, and Dr. Daniel Nocera of MIT, among many others.
“We are honored to welcome OriginOil to our inaugural ‘meeting of the minds,’” said IREO Secretary-General Robson Mello. “Riggs Eckelberry and his team have been instrumental to the development of this conference, and having their full support behind our event has been a large part of its success.”
“The focus of today’s world economies is on job creation, and the biofuels category offers the greatest new jobs potential of any energy source today,” said Riggs Eckelberry, CEO of OriginOil. “We will demonstrate how sustainable biofuels production can roll out quickly to offer massive job creation and provide an answer to the world’s dependence on fossil fuels.”
As the foremost international voice on Renewable Energy worldwide, IREO has established this annual conference to bring together leaders from political, private and academic sectors to discuss the state of renewable energy needs and plausible solutions in response to the growth of developing nations around the world. The conference will precede the 2nd Annual IREO Renewable Energy Awards Gala, beginning that evening at 6pm.
