Silicon metal is one of today’s key strategic materials needed for the decarbonization of the economy and the Renewable Energy Revolution. 

However, silicon metal does not exist in its pure state and must be extracted from quartz in what has historically been a capital, energy-intensive and environmentally harmful process.

THE ONLY COMPANY CREATING A NEW PROCESS FOR SILICON MANUFACTURING IN OVER 100 YEARS

HPQ Silicon $HPQ.ca $HPQFF is a cutting edge Canadian producer of high value-added silicon products sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers, among other industries.

$HPQ is the only company bringing a new process for manufacturing Silicon to market that is perfectly suited to the new demands and realities of today’s Silicon market. 

Specifically, with ESG principles playing an active role in materials sourcing - and with recent geopolitical unrest emphasizing the need for stable supply security - global corporations are becoming more aware of the difficulties in securing ESG-compliant Silicon to meet their renewable energy agenda.

In layman’s terms, current but outdated silicon production processes are dirty, expensive and environmentally unfriendly to say the least.  Any EV Manufacturer of Battery Maker can’t claim to be clean energy compliant if it sources dirty silicon.

NOW …. $HPQ IS THE ONLY COMPANY TO PRODUCE SILICON FROM A NEW PROCESS IN OVER 100 YEARS

In December 2022 $HPQ.CA announced Its Gen3 Pilot Plant Produced Silicon … which is considered to be a major milestone by the Company, which stated as follows:

This first successful process improvement test is the most significant of the program to date… During the test, quartz material was successfully converted into Silicon, a process that validates that the GEN3 can also produce Silicon material.

THE MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS NEW CLEAN AND CHEAPER PROCESS TO PRODUCE SILICON - 7 NDA’S AND A 1 MILLION TON SUPPLY DEFICIT

The reality of chronic underinvestment in silicon production combined with the unstoppable mission by the United States and other developed nations to onshore Silicon production capacity, is creating massive opportunities for HPQ and the processes it is developing with PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PYR:NASDAQ)

The Company’s innovative process permitting the one-step transformation of quartz into high purity silicon at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint is the common denominator for at least seven (7) NDAs with EV manufacturers, battery makers and other high-value materials companies.

And those NDAs are important because the Company now expects to produce and deliver samples of its ESG compliant, high purity silicon to these companies in the next few months.

It’s timing couldn’t be better with silicon expected to reach a 1,000,000 ton annual supply deficit in the coming years.
