Other nutraceutical algae products will follow,” said Stroud.<br /><br />Nutraceutical are dietary supplements that support physical and mental health.<br />...<br />Anticipated production of <b>Chlorella</b>, and B-Carotene, is expected to be 2,000 tonnes in 2014, up to 4,000 tonnes in 2015, with a target of 8,000 tonnes in 2016, and 10,000 tonnes by 2017.<br /><br />Indicative wholesale prices for the Chlorella and B-Carotene are currently $16,000 and up to $90,000 per tonne, respectively. The algae is 100% used as the product. A healthy gross margin on revenue is anticipated as capital costs are expected to be in the vicinity of $7,000 per tonne.<br /><br />The nutraceuticals initiative was prompted by the significantly lower capital required and <b>better anticipated profit margins per tonne of production compared with biofuels</b>, and the very speedy path to production.Askgerbilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007183724607645824noreply@blogger.com
