"the high silicon that is currently used is mainly that derived from silane gas derivatives to give you an idea of the realtive costs of this product, we are hearing that costs in europe for American sourced product are up to $2000/kg, Chinese based product is about $100/kg, we are working with a low grade metallurgical silicon and we are getting tremendous results with this silicon and the relative cost point is approximately $10/kg"

not saying that anteotech's tech will win but cost comparison is heavily tipped in our favour.
also don't know much about this company, just thought it made an interesting point about European battery regulations, which may tie in with an ev company using an anode with low grade silicon vs highly processed silane gas silicon. 75749164
