Costs18’ x 10’ x 24’ greenhouse: $4,45060- 10” x 6 ft acrylic tubes = $3,760Air pump=$CO2 supply $500Plumbing= $3,000Floor and sill= $600Extraction process= $4,000Installation= 40 m-hr @$20/hr= $800TOTAL = $17110, rounded up to $20k

SummaryProjection and hopes:
If capital and installation costs = $20k;operating costs = $20/month or 100/yearAnd oil production is 400 gal/season, over a 15 yr period oil would be $3.58/gal. (Maine oil cost today is 3.24) 20 years = $2.75 gal.
