In Feb this year, EM were producing 5kg - 10kg a day but in 2024 they were forecasting 2,000 Tonnes a year in 2025, so they're not producing at the levels they previously claimed they'd reach.
220kg a month isn't going to be 166 Tonnes a month anytime soon.
Also, when you read into their process, it's slightly shrouded in mystery, part of the process is clean but it goes on to secondary processes, where they claim the chemical requirements are significantly reduced. Logically, therefore, the entire process uses chemicals.
Guess there'll always be competition, which is healthy, and even those using chemical processes will be competition because the USA will want as much RE recycled as possible.
On to MKA though, in terms of production forecasts, to date, the 1st September Results, they'd produced what they forecast, starting at 500Kg per month. They started on the 7th July and in seven weeks, assuming a five day week, were producing 25 Kg a day, as forecast in July.
They also forecast 2 Tonnes a month by the end of this year and 8 Tonnes to 29 Tonnes a month during 2026 at Birmingham and are looking to start production by the end of this year in Germany.
