We make money, but one of the interesting little asides is that the algae has value. It's worth $2,000 to $200,000 per tonne, depending on what you're growing and what the use is.
Human nutraceuticals are up to $6 million a tonne. You can't grow that on a stack gas, but the same technology allows you to do it. The issue is that the capital costs are very high.
If we compare ourselves to carbon capture and sequestration, we're about one-fourth the cost. We're a quarter of what it costs for a similar capacity of carbon capture and sequestration, but if you're looking at carbon capture and sequestration it's normally co-located within enhanced oil and gas recovery, which is where the real value is derived. I think it's actually quite a sensible solution.
I see ourselves as part of an ecosystem of solutions, not a single source. I have nothing against carbon capture and sequestration. I think it's actually very smart.
Weaning ourselves off an oil economy may take time. Again, I'm also not here to denigrate the oil economy. I think it's terrific.
What we need to do is close the carbon loop, and that's what we can do.
