Press Releases and Past Events
For Immediate Release: July 23, 2009
The Natural Resource Conservation Service of the USDA held their Field Day/Workshop on July 23rd, 2009 at the Desert Sweet Biofuels Research and Production Facility Tour Center. Speakers were: Dr. Mohammed Zerkoune of the NRCS on nutrient management; Dr. Kevin Fitzsimmons of the University of Arizona on Integrated Aquaculture and Agriculture; Dr. Mark Edwards of Arizona State University on algae production and bio-fuel technology; Gary Wood of Desert Sweet Biofuels on carbon negative fuels, shrimp, algae and crop productions and Robert Wilson of the NRCS on soil surveys.
Approximately 30 people attended the event and toured the farm where they were shown the process for making carbon negative fuels plus algae, daphnia and shrimp production and introduced to BioChar.

Desert Sweet Biofuels CEO Gary Wood announced breakthroughs in algae production that mark the beginning of the Carbon Negative Fuel Era.
Carbon negative fuels are algae biofuels, electrical energy and other biofuels created in a sustainable and environmentally friendly process that sequesters significant amounts of Carbon Dioxide. The carbon will be removed from the carbon cycle for approximately 5,000 years. These fuels will include clean diesel, gasoline, jet fuel and others.
The conference titled “A New Green Model for Agricultural Energy Production: CO2 Sequestration and Carbon Neutral Fuels with Algae” held at SkySong in Scottsdale, Arizona on May 22, 2009 provided a roadmap for Carbon Negative Biofuel production. The conference featured Arizona State Professor, Mark Edwards, author of “Green Algae Strategy,” who spoke about the extraordinary potential of algae for food, feed, fuel, fertilizer and cleaning polluted water. Gary Wood explained the Desert Sweet Biofuels breakthroughs and how, when used in combination, they enable the production of carbon neutral and carbon negative biofuels.

Breakthrough in carbon negative fuel with algae
Desert Sweet Biofuels has made a breakthrough toward the economic production of carbon neutral algae biofuels, (CNAB) that are produced in a process that creates substantial Carbon Dioxide sequestration. A significant amount of CO2 is sequestered for about 5,000 years.
Biofuels by definition are carbon neutral, but the process of producing these biofuels is carbon negative. When using these biofuels in cars, trains, planes and ships, CO2 is removed from the atmosphere. The CNAB process is both economic and scalable in such a way as to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil and to help control climate change. The consequences of the full development of this new model may lead to slowing or stopping the destruction of our rain forest and oceans.
We ask for your support by helping us spread the word or personally attending a conference that is being sponsored by Desert Sweet Biofuels in association with Desertbiofuels.org and Greenindependence.org. The conference will be held May 22, 2009 at ASU’s SkySong Auditorium, which is located at 1475 N. Scottsdale, Scottsdale, AZ 85257 from 9:00 a.m. until noon. The title of the conference will be: A New Green Model for Agricultural Energy Production: CO2 Sequestration and Carbon Neutral Fuels with Algae.
