SunEco’s technology has produced results of at a ratio of 40,000+ gallons of SVO/biocrude per acre foot per year. This compares with 50 gallons per acre, per year for soy oil and 20 gallons per acre per year for corn oil. |
|
Per January 2008, there were 171 operators of biodiesel refineries in the U.S., with an installed capacity of 2.25 billion gallons per year and no reliable, cost effective feedstock to supply those refineries. With corn, soy, and palm in tight supply, the current realized production is near 50% capacity, due primarily to high cost of feedstocks. |

Comparable rack rates Algae SVO $3.50 gl Soy SVO $5.40 gl Palm SVO $5.26 gl |
|
Algae SVO compares nearly equal to soy SVO but with a lower cloud point and saves the .30± gl transportation cost from the Midwest |
|
SunEco’s LFS compares with the premium feed grain alfalfa, plus the added fats and oil that are typically added at the feed mill
There are approximately 1.5 million head of cattle within close proximity the site; over 200,000 within 20 miles
SunEco LFS is a viable feed for Cattle, Dairy Swine and poultry, reducing pressure on human food sources around the globe |
|
2008 forecasted biocrude demand in California to exceed 2 billion gallons |
|
Algae oil is not derived from a food source like soy, corn, palm and canola, nor does is compete with food production resources, and thereby breaks the trade-off between food or fuel for renewal fuel production. |
|
High margin algae oil can be sold at a profit, versus petroleum, when petroleum is at $30 per barrel for an extended period of time. |
|
SVO Sales (biocrude) Product is sold FOB from the facility, transported by truck or rail and has a ready market with over 20 biodiesel & major refineries in proximity. |
|
LFS Sales (livestock feed) Product is sold FOB from the facility by truck or rail tanker based on the buyer’s preference for liquid or semi-sold supplements, and is centrally located to supply to the regions 10 million cattle
