Hi Bernard,
Can you expand on your statement in the C-Suite interview:
"We are talking about a requirement for a million metric tonnes of nanopowder silicon in the next 10 to 15 years and the worldwide capacity to do it right now is maybe ten metric tonnes"
Your statement seems to say that we will see demand will ramp up as battery manufacturers try to increase range and decrease recharge times by adding more and more nano and micron silicon powders into their anode construction (if the cost to do so is economical) and in 3 to 5 years the annual requirement could be as much as 100,000 metric tonnes per year or more.. so that when we are 10 years down the road the total amount consumed over that time period could be as much as 1 million metric tonnes (or more as you say "we typically underestimate these things"). Currently, the supply is so low it could be said to be negligable and this is mainly due to very expensive processes to produce what little there is... until now... until HPQ Nano NSiR and PURVAP have came along.
Am I interpreting these things in the right way?

Tim in Vancouver
