PHOENIX — Arizona’s sunny, dry weather makes it the perfect location for farming algae to produce renewable fuels, an executive of a national biofuels group said Monday.
In addition, the state’s coal-fired power plants produce quantities of carbon dioxide that would allow for more efficient production of algae, said Joe Jobe, CEO of the National Biodiesel Board, which is holding a convention an exposition here this week.
“Arizona has a lot of carbon dioxide and a lot of sun,” he said.
