The company is located in Bangkok, Thailand.
It intrigued me because of how much spirulina they can make on a small amount of space. From 80 kg a week, it was claimed.
Well, let's say you can equal that production. What could you do with it. One thing is to make fuel. However, the fuel I was thinking of was methanol. It is not very lucrative to get into that business, though. For methanol will sell for about $2.00 a gallon, and the amount you could make would be 14 gallons, then that figures out to be a small amount of money.
Funny, that the article says spirulina is expensive. There's a website that I saw, nuts.com, that sells spirulina for $15.00 pound. That appears much more lucrative than making fuel and selling it. For 80 kg of the stuff could retail for $2640. Not bad for a week's worth of work. You'd have to find customers, of course.
Spirulina is probably considered to be exotic in this country. Doubtful that the mass population would ever take to it. It's selling point is as a health food. It would be added to a normal diet as a supplement. Or it can be mixed up in a smoothie.
I noticed in the article that it is also used as a cosmetic. Those are lucrative businesses, too.
The energy business is not a good place to look for making money!
