Happy New Year! Great things are planned for 2025 at the ABO!
Of key importance –ABO’s government relations committee, the Executive Policy Committee, has been officially re-launched. We held our first official call on December 18th and will be scheduling monthly calls going forward. It is critical for ABO to have a strong voice in Washington, D.C. and this committee will determine ABO’s near-term and longer-term priorities in the areas of federal funding and policy. If you are interested in participating in this committee, please email me directly at jkallen@algaebiomass.org.
We have locked in presenters for ABO’s monthly Webinar Series. Starting in February, we will hear from member companies/organizations showcasing their projects, company updates and or technologies. See below for details on upcoming webinars.
Membership invoices for 2025 were sent out in December. ABO is a member supported organization, and we need all members to promptly return their membership dues – thank you! If you have any questions or concerns, email Carrie Cox at ccox@algaebiomass.org.




Member News and Updates
Collaboration Opportunities with the Department of Chemical Engineering at the State of University of New York-Environmental Science and Forestry is currently looking for partnerships and assistance in the following areas:
Provision of Bulk Samples: We are interested in acquiring bulk samples of Spirulina, Haematococcus, Chlorella, or Scenedesmus for our research projects.
Supply of Live Strains: Access to live cultures of any of the above-mentioned microalgae would greatly benefit our ongoing studies.
Collaborative Lab-Scale Studies: We are eager to collaborate on lab-scale projects involving parent or genetically modified strains. Our focus includes optimizing culture conditions for growth, enhancing metabolite production, or increasing CO2 uptake on a lab scale.
SUNY-ESF is committed to acknowledging any contributing companies or researchers in resulting publications, and if collaborative efforts are established, we would include co-authors from partner teams. We understand that some collaborators may prefer anonymity, and we are open to agreements that maintain confidentiality regarding their identities.
We have experience working with industry partners to optimize processes and technologies for genetically modified strains under such terms. If you or someone within your network would be interested in working with us or can provide the samples or strains mentioned above, I would be grateful to connect.
