GCL is doing FBR granular polysilicon. They said in their 2012 anual report that they have successfully produced granular polysilicon from Silane gas in September.

Cost to below $10/kg is refering to FBR polysilicon. Siemens cant reach such low levels yet, batch vs flow.

"We successfully produced silane gas products with electronic grade on September 2012 and successfully produced quality granular silicon with silane method and our manufacturing lines have met the world-class advanced standards for the same in January 2013."

"Developing silane gas and FBR granular silicon technology."

Easier to lower cost (especially electricity according to REC), but harder to reach puritity. Having both should be optimal as REC claims mixing chunk and granular lowers ingot growth costs.
