LakeMaster is forming a technical advisory board. Dr. Dennis Massa, formerly an Eastman Kodak researcher, is now consulting and has agreed to join LakeMaster as a technical advisor. Dr. Massa worked in the areas of polymer physics, optical films, polymer blends and composites, He received a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin, and he has published 22 scientific papers an he has 15 patents. . |
LakeMaster is interested in the formation of a New York State Biofuels Consortium to promote the biofuel industry in New York State. At the heart of the most successful cities and metropolitan regions in the world are great collaborations. The New York State Biofuels Consortium will represent the combined resources of the State’s best academic institutions, researchers and companies involved in the biofuels industry. Comprised of universities and colleges, and private companies member institutions would devote efforts to developing and growing the biofuel industry in New York State |

LakeMaster recently engaged Jonathan Brand, a U of R undergraduate student to research bioreactor elements. His work is to concentrate on developing a state-of-the-art photo bioreactor, which will incorporate algae strains selected by our Cornell University collaborators. Jonathan will work closely with LakeMaster management and Dr. Beth Ahner’s group at Cornell to develop a prototype bioreactor system. This project is a unique opportunity to showcase the viability of a geographically-optimized solution and the availability of technology that produces high-quality green transportation fuels. |

| The DOE recently awarded $78MM to the “National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts, and National Advanced Biofuels Consortium.” The consortium is being led by The National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Danforth Center (Washington University, St. Louis). It includes such notable industry participants as Solix, Catalin Virent, Inventure, and others. A primary focus of the consortium work will research algae based feedstock to produce biofuels. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
