We could make the same volume of algae to give astaxanthin by the 42 gallon barrel? Would that be helpful?

Mr. Bowery,

If my company could somehow, somewhere, someday soon find, beg, barrow, be awarded or in any other way obtain the LAST thing we need to move forward is a valid business plan.

With the nearly limitless funding provided by multiple HUGE investors who are diligently (and patiently) awaiting us at SCIPIO Biofuels Inc. to demonstrate TWO things for the world to see. First, that we can "obtain" the aforementioned business plan. Second, that a sealed, ready-to-scale-up PBR with an internal temperature control system DOES exist and we have more than one. With a business plan and our comprehensive growth, harvesting & extraction systems we could easily win the Algae Oil Prize. This is of course assuming that 90K+ gal/acre/year would be sufficient to take the prize.

All we need is a business plan to large and intricate for my tiny staff to generate ourselves in less than 1.2 million years, and costs much more than we can afford to farm-out.

To go with the oil production facilities in order to quash complaints that potable water is becoming too much a commodity, we have created a comprehensive system for the bioremediation of eutrophic water bodies that is intended for implementation on a 1-to-1 basis with the biofuel facilities. The bioremediation system even offsets its own cost after the first 24-30 months.

I would really appreciate any thoughts, ideas or spare (slightly used is A-OK) business plans for algae based biofuel companies you might have lying around. Time is getting short and after 8 years of working on this pretty much alone, I can freely admit I need some help. Others at the PickensPlan are doing what they can. But, they mostly have day-jobs and mouths to feed. It's not fair of me to ask people who aren't fully understanding of what I have to go very far out of their way for me or my company. Hence, I'm writing to you. LOL.

Kindest regards,

Matt Snyder
Owner
SCIPIO Biofuels Inc.
