This looks interesting. You are probably the only one here that will understand it (other than yours truly, LOL).

Also, for others here, I found this statement by the DOE in the report interesting as well, and is probably understandable for the rest of the crew here if they please take note that it says I was right in my prior assertions that FDA gets in the way of getting an algae product to market in the high end areas. Hell even everyday hand soap requires FDA approval for use around food operations.
"In the previous study on algal hydrogen production, the reactor cost significantly affected the
price of the hydrogen produced. Estimates of reactor materials costs range from a few cents per
m2 to $100 or more. The main reason for this is that different material requirements were
assumed. While there are some commercial reactors that grow algae under artificial light to
produce food additives or supplements, these represent high-value materials so the reactor can be
more expensive. For food additives, certain FDA requirements must be met, which further
increases the cost of the reactor."
The rest of the paper is about light transmission (pond depth and light intensity)and use (or lack thereof) of excess light by Algae.
