HPQ Silicon (TSX-V: HPQ) is making waves in the technology and materials industry with its ground-breaking advancements in green engineering processes. The company has announced a pivotal achievement – the successful production of commercial grade Fumed Silica samples through its proprietary Fumed Silica Reactor ('FSR') technology developed by its subsidiary, HPQ Silica Polvere Inc. in partnership with PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR).

HOW BIG IS THIS NEWS?

Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silica Polvere Inc and HPQ Silicon Inc. stated:

“Third-party interests in our produced material have the potential to develop into partnership in our venture which could materialize in the form of offtake agreements, positioning them as prospective buyers of our material on a commercial scale …. Furthermore, this evaluation phase could extend to encompass our innovative production process, piquing their interest in adopting our technology as well.”

But HPQ made it clear interest in its fumed silica is growing well beyond just this undisclosed major global player:

“As our process gains more industry visibility, HPQ Silica Polvere anticipates significant interest in fumed silica production technology, benefiting both the Company and the industries that rely on this essential material, and this should lead in increase demand for samples from third parties eager to evaluate the characteristics of our material for the own needs,

MAJOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE  -   UP TO 70% REDUCTION IN ENERGY USAGE LEADING TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED CARBON TAXES FOR CUSTOMERS

HPQ Polvere holds a distinctive competitive edge through its Fumed Silica Reactor. This advantage stems from its ability to directly transform quartz into fumed silica, resulting in energy requirements as low as 15,000 kWh per tonne produced. This process not only enhances efficiency but also minimizes environmental impact and associated carbon taxes.
