Summary: A detailed investor FAQ covering HPQ Silicon’s business model, projects, leadership, and investment information — for readers who want more depth on the company.
Company Basics
What is HPQ Silicon’s business model?
HPQ is a technology developer and materials innovator rather than a traditional miner. It develops proprietary processes and materials — silicon anodes, battery cells, fumed silica, and hydrogen — and commercializes them through partnerships (notably Novacium SAS and PyroGenesis) and licensing agreements.
Where does HPQ Silicon operate?
The company is headquartered in Quebec, Canada, while much of its core research and development is conducted through Novacium SAS in France. Its technologies are aimed at North American and international markets.
Projects & Assets
What are HPQ Silicon’s main projects?
HPQ’s portfolio includes: GEN3 silicon anode materials; the ENDURA+ lithium-ion cell platform (18650 and 21700 formats); a Fumed Silica Reactor developed with PyroGenesis; and the METAGENE™ clean-hydrogen technology, held under an exclusive North American license.
What stage are the projects at?
The projects range from validation to early commercialization. In 2025, the GEN3 anode achieved 1,000+ charge cycles, commercial-scale cells were produced, the fumed silica process reached pilot validation with PyroGenesis, and a METAGENE™ hydrogen pilot phase was planned for 2026.
Team & Leadership
Who leads HPQ Silicon?
HPQ Silicon is led by Bernard Tourillon, Chairman, President and CEO, a role he has held since 2006. The company’s R&D is advanced in close alignment with its partner Novacium SAS, where Mr. Tourillon has also served as President and CEO since 2022.

Mr. Tourillon holds a BAA and an MBA from Concordia University and brings more than 35 years of senior executive experience spanning finance, accounting, marketing, business development, manufacturing, exploration, mining, and technology companies.
