HPQ Silicon Tech Allows One-Step Transformation Of Quartz Into High Purity Silicon, Enters Most Exciting R&D Phase

That was really great interview regarding Purevap QRR Gen 3. The confidence and reference to bidding war is referenced...again.

Many great points but few of many key ones got me excited:

"To be truly honest....This is the most exciting time of the R& D phase - when we complete this phase we will be in that position(successful in the silicon space)"

"It is finally the phase, the biggest scaling up we are doing 250x scaling up the size From a washer dryer size to like a size of a house system. All the other scaling up are by a factor 5-20x. This is the most exciting one. The guys at Pyro are the same guys that built the same waste destruction for the US Military so we are very confident that this will work."

"The fundamental dynamics are as follows ..my end clients will eventually sign off take agreements which are the big boys ..they are not small companies. So as I get my projects advanced enough to position where I will get a bidding war between those big boys. If I reach the 4 goals as I set out in the press release then it will become very interesting even before we get the nano reactor working because I will be resolving the feedstock issue for everyone else."

"Car manufacturers are in a bad position as they need to control their entire material chain. How did Tesla succeed? They signed secret deals to control nickel before nickel took off. The same thing is going to happen with silicon. That is why QRR is so important."

The 4 goals HPQ stated in NR  :

a) That it can produce a higher purity silicon material than any traditional processes in one step,

b) That it does not require the extremely pure feedstock needed by conventional processes,

c) That it only requires 4.5 MT of raw material to make 1 MT of Silicon versus the 6 MT required by conventional processes,

d) That it does possess a significant cash cost advantage versus the lowest cost traditional Silicon producer.
