Workshop on Algal Oil for Jet Fuel Production

In February 2008, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) held a joint workshop that brought together a panel of outside experts in the microalgae field to discuss a variety of basic science research issues related to microalgal oil production.
