Iran
- Iran started investigating the production of algae from 2000. Scientific evidence shows that south Iran is the richest area in the world for cultivating algae, because of high humidity, sunny weather, large unused area and salty water.[2] The first version of algae based biofuel will become available for industrial purposes in 2015.[3]
- Biofuel Research Team (BRTeam) A multi-national research team focused on various aspects of biofuel research initiated extensive research on algal genetic engineering for enhanced biodiesel production in 2010. They hoped to achieve their first genetically engineered microalgae with enhanced lipid production features in 2015.[4][non-primary source needed]
