Green Star Products Inc, Chula Vista CA, has completed Phase III for winter environmental testing of its hybrid algae production facility in Montana, resulting in the plant continuing to thrive.

The testing is part of the company's efforts to use algae in biodiesel production. The 40,000-liter demonstration facility is located outdoors and had successfully completed Phase I and II of the project in mid-2007. The algae demonstration project was not initially scheduled to continue into the winter months, however, the success of the first two phases of the project provided an opportunity to subject the algae hybrid system to severe Montana winter conditions, the company said.
