Summary: HPQ Silicon is a Quebec-based technology company developing next-generation silicon anode materials, lithium-ion battery cells, low-cost fumed silica, and clean-hydrogen technology. This Q&A answers the questions investors ask most about the company.
Q1: What does HPQ Silicon do?
HPQ Silicon Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ) is a technology company focused on advanced silicon materials and clean-process innovation. Working with its partner Novacium SAS, it develops GEN3 silicon anode materials for batteries, its ENDURA+ battery cells, zero-CO₂ fumed silica production, and clean-hydrogen technology.
Q2: What are the company’s main projects?
HPQ advances four core initiatives: (1) GEN3 silicon anode materials for higher-capacity lithium-ion batteries; (2) the ENDURA+ battery cell platform (18650 and 21700 formats); (3) a Fumed Silica Reactor developed with PyroGenesis; and (4) the METAGENE™ hydrogen technology, for which HPQ holds an exclusive North American license.
Q3: Who are the key team members?
HPQ Silicon is led by Bernard Tourillon, Chairman, President and CEO. A significant part of the company’s research and development is carried out through its French partner, Novacium SAS, in which HPQ holds a strategic equity stake.
Q4: What are the recent company milestones?
In 2025, HPQ’s GEN3 anode material surpassed 1,000 charge cycles (about 30% above graphite performance), the company began commercial-scale cell production, and it was awarded C$3 million in Canadian government funding. In early 2026 it finalized an increased ownership position in Novacium, and in June 2026 it announced a Letter of Intent with LN Innov’ and Novacium to explore an electric-propulsion platform.
Q5: How does HPQ Silicon fit into the clean-tech and semiconductor market?
HPQ operates at the intersection of battery materials, clean energy, and advanced silicon. Its silicon-anode and hydrogen technologies target fast-growing markets — electric vehicles, energy storage, and clean hydrogen — positioning HPQ as a materials-innovation company in the small-cap clean-tech space.
