How does Joule calculate production of up to 15,000 gal/diesel and 25,000 gal/ethanol per acre per year?

These quantities represent our ultimate commercial targets at full-scale production. We look at the total amount of energy that we can capture from the sun according to geography, and the resultant amount of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) we can directly apply to our process. We're continually working to maximize productivity by engineering the optimal organisms, enhancing our bioprocessing, and increasing the photon conversion efficiency of our SolarConverter^® system.

For a detailed explanation of how our productivities are calculated, please refer to this peer-reviewed article published by Photosynthesis Research.
