Hey, thanks, and best of luck, what a cool company.
It seems like you're on the cusp of breaking even from yongjik's back of the envelope math, at least for the US commercial market. Is this a refinement of Fischer-Tropsch?
However, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. The US military pays $hundreds of dollars to get fuel into a warzone. If you can make diesel (which I think you can), you don't have to go after a $3 a gallon target, you go after a $300 target. You can perfect it on sweet sweet DARPA money at a price point that will make you rich and save the military a shitload of money.
- kaennar 7y agoThat sounds like a particularly interesting answer, but I wonder what the power and factory requirements would be to have something like this at a FOB or base? Surely most operating bases use gas powered generators to run and not solar right?
- effie 7y agoThis is genius. Also, the US military can expand everywhere and force everyone to use only the new climate friendly american fuel (TM) for affordable price.
