Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Maxx Chatsko]

    Renewable-oils manufacturer Solazyme (NASDAQ: SZYM  ) began supplying the U.S. Navy with Naval marine diesel and Naval jet fuel in 2010. In all, the company delivered nearly 1 million liters of fuel under various contracts between 2009 and 2012. The company took a lot of heat for the $15-per-gallon price tag for the contract -- nearly four times the price of conventional jet fuel at the time -- but critics seemed to have dismissed the fact that those selling prices included costs for new equipment and non-commercial scale inefficiencies.

The company announced that it was dissolving its joint venturewith Roquette Freres -- a mutual agreement -- after the two had "divergent views on an ac! ceptable ! commercial strategy, timelines for manufacturing, and the marketing of joint venture products". Roquette remains committed to microalgae as a raw material and plans on continue developing non-genetically modified microalgae ingredients.
