Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”), an
innovator of technologies that enables systemic decarbonization by
efficiently converting under-utilized natural resources into
renewable energy products, announced today that it has secured
sufficient supplier commitments to begin commissioning the
Company’s first photovoltaic recycling facility upon receipt of the
necessary permits.
The world remains focused on the production of
energy generation and storage technologies to reduce reliance on
fossil fuels, and especially photovoltaics. The substantial
majority of solar panels have been deployed in the southwest region
of United States, primarily California, Nevada, and Arizona with a
remarkable acceleration of the decommissioning of these end-of-life
solar panels occurring now.
“A critical 2023 objective was securing
revenue-generating orders for recycling decommissioned solar panels
in our first facility,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s
Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The associated
clients are ready to begin supplying decommissioned panels to our
demonstration-scale facility on a continuous basis. Our technology
and renewable solutions provide a superior alternative to
landfilling these polluting materials.”
Comstock Metals is currently deploying a
demonstration system that commercializes technologies for
efficiently crushing, conditioning, extracting, and ultimately
recycling metal and mineral concentrates from photovoltaics and
other electronic devices. Comstock Metals previously received a
storage permit and expects to receive the remaining permits (e.g.,
air quality and solid waste) shortly to commence receiving,
commissioning and then processing these end-of-life panels as
scheduled in early 2024.
“We represent a safe, zero-landfill, end-of-life
solution for solar installers, landfills, and utility-scale solar
developers and generators, serving the entire Southwestern US and
beyond,” said Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock
Metals. “Large volumes of end-of-life photovoltaic materials are
rapidly becoming available from large solar fields, effectively
creating an environmental dilemma for our ecosystem. Comstock’s
solution ensures the safe deconstruction, decontamination,
separation, and productive reuse of important and precious metals
contained in end-of-life photovoltaic materials.”
Comstock Metals objectives for 2024 include
receiving the final permits early in the new year, completing
commissioning of photovoltaic material recycling, commencing
production, expanding our existing revenue generating supply
commitments, and then finalizing the design and site selection for
our first “industry-scale” production facility.
“We have rapidly taken a leadership position in
this huge, readily available, and rapidly growing photovoltaic
market,” concluded De Gasperis. “We have secured more than
sufficient supply for our demonstration facility, and we are
already negotiating agreements with major customers for
industry-scale supply agreements. This will accelerate efforts for
our first industry-scale facility.”
