The genesis of AlgaeTec Limited’s algae production technology was over 8 years ago. During this time two specific global resource issues, namely food and water, have been critically focused upon. Many countries have embraced solutions enthusiastically, and in a manner consistent with their politically varied structures. Food and water are linked to the global population number and its extraordinary exponential growth. These commodities are inextricably linked to energy in all its forms, and in particular, transport fuels. Careful management of these scarce resources at a national and international level has never been more important. It is with this background that AlgaeTec’s business takes on its current global relevance. Roger Stroud AlgaeTec’s strategic goal is to embrace transport fuels in a very practical manner. Your Executive Chairman company intends to initiate the development and operation of commercial facilities in several countries, predominantly by way of joint venture. The primary focus will be on Australia, the United States, China, Brazil and Southern Europe. The products will be primarily Biodiesel and Grade A Jet Fuel. Discussions are underway with several companies in the various countries mentioned above, with the intention of negotiating either a joint venture at a facility level or at the country level. The Chinese discussions, as mentioned variously before, have changed from one party to another, and are progressing very well. 6 | ALGAE.TEC ANNUAL REPORT - 30.06.11 ALGAE.TEC ANNUAL REPORT - 30.06.11 | 7
