Algae for fuel takes pressure off land resources and food crop. Dear John,

I know that ENI the Italian energy company has set up a test pilot project using both the open pond system and photo bio-reactors to see which is more sustainable. Do you know which companies are involved in the production that you mention in your article? And, more importantly which system they are using?
