Remember this is a pilot scale facility which is usually under 1 million gallons of annual production. And also $6,836 million would be $6.836 billion which is enough to build several commercial sized operations.Michael A.

But this is a pilot scale operation and I would also assume that in Chili that amount of money would go farther than here where wages and probably goods as well are more expensive. But it is interesting that companies around the world are working towards the same goals. I have to think that the more people working on algae the better the chance that the breakthroughs needed to advance it to commercial viability will be made.Michael A.
