Solar foods scale up calculations10 May 2025 18:47
In a recent Instagram post, Solar foods have said that Factory 1 produces 450kg per day which is equal to a 300 cow dairy farm. They say, factory 2 will produce 12’800 tons annually. So I did some calculations.
Factory 2 – 12’800 t annually (÷365 for per day production)
= 35.06849315 t per day (÷0.45 for scale-up factor from factory 1)
= 77.92998478 (×300 to get cow dairy farm equivalent)
= 23378.99543 cows. Of course you can’t have decimals of cows but you get the idea. Round up or down to the nearest cow, its insignificant.
It’d be remarkable if they actually achieve this.
