NPDI), a
next generation aquaculture technology company, headquartered here, said
today its waste-to-energy technology was featured Wednesday, May 7, on the
11:00PM NBC Local News 6 in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The segment can be
viewed at

The news segment, features research sponsored by the State of Florida's
Farm-to-Fuel Grant program, and shows how the Company integrates its
Aqua-Sphere(TM) closed containment, fish-rearing equipment with a floating
algae production system that uses the waste from the fish as fertilizer
for the algae. As a result, fish can be farmed without polluting the water
and the surrounding marine environment, while commercial quantities of
Algae can be produced for Florida's alternative energy program.
According to Ernest Papadoyianis, Neptune's President, "The need for
bio-fuels that are both economically viable and environmentally friendly is
tremendous. As the public has come to better understand the problems we
face with corn ethanol, algae production has rapidly emerged as one of the
top oil sources for bio-fuel."
He said, "The State of Florida has been very proactive in supporting the
Farm-to-Fuel program, and our local Dade County is committed to run all its
county vehicles on bio-fuel. We intend to create a commercial model for a
floating algae production system that can be used in any water environment.
The use of water acres will significantly reduce the burden on our valuable
farm acres."
