Her Majesty Queen Beatrix visits the algal production facility

The new cooperation is sparked by a visit by Her Majesty Queen Beatrix to the algal production facility of AquaPhyto on April 15, 2008. Following this visit Her Majesty and Mrs. Jacqueline Cramer (Minister of Spatial Planning and Environment), had an depth discussion with Mr. Robert Baard (director of AquaPhyto), professor Wim Admiraal (UvA) and four stakeholders in biofuel.
