RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Deboucher potentiel pour notre silicium Not entirely as they described it. Bernard stated that the price of Silicon that they use for the battery anodes is low compared to the cost of pursuing the Purevap QRR plant. So, it has nothing to do with refining their SiOx product first and then scaling up the Purevap QRR. It is all about the available market supply and market price of silicon.
Fumed silica pilot plant is all about now just putting it together, Parts have been procured and delivered. They are not describing any of it as QRR so no need to mix the two. If some parts were taken from the QRR pilot plant because they were common parts and to save money in the short term, that could make that QRR pilot plant "out of service" for those pilot quantities.
Two things on the front-burner for HPQ:
1. Fumed silica pilot plant construction
2. Continued testing of the first iteration of the SiOx for battery anodes, and probably starting to dabble with the second iteration.
And let's face it, they are not plush in cash to carry out too many projects concurrently without generating any revenues. Not too many small companies are.
