VIDEO - HPQ Silicon Partnership Opens Up New Opportunities Within Europe Where Silicon Is Recognized As A Critical And Extremely Strategic Material

HPQ Silicon $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing the high value-added silicon products sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers - but nobody has yet delivered - until now.  

THIRD PARTY VALIDATION FROM LEADING GLOBAL COMPANIES

If that sounds a lot like what other small companies are saying lately, $HPQ differentiates itself as a leader of the pack thanks to the following:  

HPQ GEN3 PUREVAP TM QRR PILOT PLANT R&D TESTING PROGRAM ADVANCING ON SCHEDULE

The GEN3 PUREVAP TM QRR Pilot plant is a first-of-its-kind, state of the art prototype comprised of multiple systems that must operate under harsh conditions, extremely high temperatures and under vacuum.

With the systems integration now completed, the next milestones are:

a) Reactor start-up - a duration of about one month

b) 4 process improvement tests - a duration of about two months (Sequential)

c) Operating the Pilot Plant continuously, with non-stop production, during the remaining time.

Yesterday, HPQ Silicon announced a Partnership With the French Start-Up Novacium to Strengthen Its Innovation Capabilities in New Materials and Processes Critical to Renewable Energy.

A COLLABORATION IS READY TO BEGIN

With offices and a laboratory on the AXEL'ONE site in the Lyon region of France, Novacium is already operational and can immediately begin its collaboration with HPQ, focused on the following areas:

  • Hydrogen Production Via Hydrolysis,
  • Photovoltaic Processes,
  • Materials For Batteries And
  • Energy Storage.
  • Producing And Purifying Silicon.

What did Mr. Bernard Tourillon, CEO of HPQ have to say?

This partnership comes at a pivotal moment for HPQ. Without a dedicated technical team within HPQ, this could have limited our ability to exploit the opportunities available to us with the imminent start of our GEN3 PUREVAP™ pilot plant. Furthermore, having a research & development center in Lyon, France, opens up new opportunities for cooperation within Europe, a region which, unlike Quebec, Canada and the United States, has formally recognized that silicon is a critical, highly important and extremely strategic material.”

Now sit back relax and watch this powerful interview.
