Smart Company Mention
An Australian online magazine has a mention of Valcent's Vertigro technology highlighting that "algae has great potential as eco-energy becauseit grows rapidly and up to 50% of its weight is lipid oil that can beused as a biofuel."

Vertical Vegetable Growing
Interesting vertical vegetable system that Valcent products.
Excerpt:
A commercial module of one-eighth acre (5,445 square feet) is estimated to have capital costs of $565,000; using a wholesale price for leafy lettuce of $1.10 per head, may have gross annual revenues in excess of $1,300,000 with earnings before tax of approximately $505,000 supporting management's estimated 89% internal rate of return over 10 years.
Who owns what?
Trying to figure out the relationship between Global Green Solutions and Valcent. It appears that GGS markets products that Valcent develops.
Here's a graph of their stock prices for the last year. Their businesses must be sufficiently unrelated to produce such divergent pricing activity.
Update: here's a good overview of the relationship at The Energy Blog. Article from Oct 2006.
