Estimated costs of a barrel of algae-based fuel using current technology are US$300-2600, compared with $40-80 (2009) for petroleum.
“estimated costs of a barrel of algae-based fuel using current technology is US$300–2600, compared with $40–80 (2009) for petroleum [9–12].”

There is no way to validate that the authors' model is correct, since a number of costs implicit in the model are estimates based on previous work and extrapolated from traditional agriculture data.
“Similarly, there is no way to validate that our model is correct, since a number of costs implicit in the model are estimates based on previous work of others [9–12], and extrapolated from traditional agriculture data [39].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
