RE:New Press Release - HPQ PUREVAP(TM) QRR Will Usher in Zero CO2 Emission Silicon Metal ManufacturingExcellent work Peter and Team and Bernard and Team!
From the NR: The recently acquired IP from PyroGenesis encompasses a process that involves capturing the CO(g) stream emitted by the QRR. This captured CO(g) is subsequently converted back into a solid carbon form, creating the potential for its reuse in generating the carbothermic process for silicon production once again.
By harnessing the unique CO(g) sequestration ability of the QRR in combination with the utilization of an organic carbon source, HPQ is poised to achieve the production of Zero CO2 Silicon Metal. This innovative approach enables carbon-neutral silicon metal production and holds the potential for generating carbon credits. According to management estimates, the QRR potential carbon credits should be between 1.5 tCO2/t product basis and 2.6 tCO2/t product basis [4].
HPQ intends to commercialize its Zero+ CO2 Silicon Metal under the brand name SILICIUMX.
Long and Strong in PyroGenesis and HPQ Silicon!
