RE:RE:RE:NEW INTERVIEW VIDEO - HPQ Sends First Batch Of High PuritySi Some great points from the Agoracom interview:
- 5:40: “We know we’re going to make 4N silicon material”.
- 7:20: HPQ sent Silicon material that wasn’t produced by the QRR (Quartz Reduction Reactor) to the high performance material company (HPMC), however, the rationale for doing so is because HPQ is so confident that the QRR testing will be successful such that they would rather tick off milestones in parallel as opposed to sequentially. (Again at 8:42)
- 7:48: Not at all worried about what competition like Sila and Group14 are doing.
- 14:05: Senior executives (present or retired) in competing companies agree that HPQ has the right business strategy.
- 22:00: Goal is to get Test Series 2 and 3 completed before end of June.
- 26:00: Novacium will convert Si powders into SiOx (oxidized). SiOx is what is being used in the market for battery-grade material.
- 33:00: Ferroglobe can match HPQ’s ability to produce volume of 2N silicon, but cannot for higher purity.
- 36:28: Sounds like Bernad Tourillon is also aiming to build a dynasty.
- 39:20: Possible future partnership scenarios for HPQ.
Long and Strong in PyroGenesis and HPQ Silicon!
