HPQ Silicon Resources $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.  CEO Bernard Tourillon goes “Beyond the Deck” to provide shareholders a comprehensive company update.

Some topics we discuss:

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 has already Received It’s First Order for Spherical Nano Silicon Material from Major Automobile Manufacturer

●        $HPQ Signed NDA and Received Request for 4N Silicon Material Samples from a World Leading High-Performance Materials Company

●        $HPQ has already received signed NDAs from at least 2 battery players 

SILICON PRICES SKY ROCKETING

And $HPQ timing couldn’t be better as the price for 1 metric ton of Silicon, as of the end of 2021, reached US $10,000 compared to just US $2,500 a year ago.

HPQ Silicon became even stronger when it announced that they have been  Issued A U.S. Patent For Its PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Technology

CEO Bernard Tourillon commented:“ Since 2015, HPQ PUREVAP T M QRR has been at the forefront of disrupting Silicon manufacturing, an industry that still relies on a traditional process to make silicon first develop in 1899. The U.S. patent issuance on our novel new approach to making silicon, combined with the end of Q1 start of the GEN3 PUREVAP TM QRR pilot plant , have culminated at an opportune time, as demand for high purity silicon from the battery and high-performance material companies continues to rise just as bottlenecks, we had foreseen are now occurring in the silicon supply chain. With ESG principles playing an active role in materials sourcing, the world is more aware of the difficulties of securing the ESG compliant Silicon needed to meet its renewable energy goals. The reality of chronic underinvestment in new technologies combined with the offshoring of Silicon production capacity, has created a massive opportunity for HPQ and its PUREVAP TM QRR patented process, as we are the only company to bring to market a new process for making Silicon that is perfectly suited to the new demands and realities of the Silicon market.”

Sit back, relax and watch this powerful presentation.

HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ) is a Canadian producer of Innovative Silicon Solutions, based in Montreal,  building a portfolio of unique high-value specialty silicon products needed for the coming RER along with 2 world-renowned technology partners.

  • high purity silicon metal
  • spherical silicon nanopowders and nanowires
  • porous silicon (Si) wafers and porous silicon (Si) powders
  • HPQ NANO Receives First Order for Spherical Nano Silicon Material from Major Automobile Manufacturer
  • NDA with at least 2 battery players
  • Pyrogenesis Canada (a global leader in plasma torch technologies) =  2 reactors
    • PUREVAP Quartz Reduction Reactors (QRR) to be Commissioned in Q4 2021
      • an innovative process (patent pending), which will permit the one-step transformation of quartz (SiO 2) into high purity silicon (Si) at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint
    • PUREVAP TM Nano Silicon Reactor (NSiR ) Through its 100% owned subsidiary, HPQ NANO Silicon Powders Inc.,  a new proprietary process that can use different purities of silicon (Si) as feedstock, to make a wide range of nano/micro spherical powders of different sizes and nanowires.

This past August, HPQ Announced a Revolutionary and Breakthrough Green Hydrogen Extraction Technology Venture.

EBH 2 first successfully tested prototype model has a clean energy production capacity starting at 1 Megawatt of power that can be produced over 7 days from 2 litres of water; sufficient energy to power a typical three bedroom suburban house.

Since then, the company has Received TSX Venture Approval to Proceed With EBH2 Green Hydrogen Extraction Technology Venture.

Today the company announced that two PhD’s with more than 30 years practical experience in the field of renewable energy and with first-hand experience developing hydrogen processes, have completed the first round of testing.  

The tests confirmed that the EBH 2 Green Hydrogen Reactors (EBH 2 GHR) uses low voltage 1 to power electrolysers that generate a H 2 + O 2 gas mixture fuels that can be used to power a generator or any kind of fuel system to produce electricity. 

HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon commented: “Corporations and Governments worldwide strongly believe that Hydrogen can play a significant part in decarbonising our economies, and they are willing to invest billions of dollars to help develop green hydrogen production. EBH2 Systems SA, with their proprietary low-cost electrolyser technology, present HPQ with one of these game changing synergetic opportunities that we simply could not overlook,” Mr. Tourillon, further stated: “We are getting even closer to the point where EBH 2 technology will be validated and when that occurs HPQ will be very well positioned to enter the hydrogen market with a system that can efficiently produce green hydrogen, on demand, which we believe will complement our green silicon materials initiatives needed to meet the demand of the up and coming renewable energy revolution.”

VIDEO – HPQ Silicon Receives U.S. Patent for Its PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Technology

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:37 PM on Tuesday, November 30th, 2021

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

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:  

The Company recently announced Receipt of U.S. Patent for Its PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Technology

To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:

The US patent covers the PUREVAP™ QRR innovative process, which permits the one-step transformation of quartz (SiO 2 ) into high purity silicon metal (from 99.5% to 99.99% Si) at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint. This game-changing advantage means that the PUREVAP™ QRR process not only produces a higher purity silicon material than traditional processes, but it does not require the extremely pure feedstock needed by conventional processes. In fact, the process only requires 4.5 MT of raw material to make 1 MT of Silicon, versus the 6 MT required by conventional processes, a 25% reduction which potentially allows a 20% cash cost advantage versus the lowest cost traditional Silicon producer . Furthermore, as part of our ongoing strategy of protecting and strengthening the PUREVAP™ Intellectual Property Portfolio, a second patent application, focusing on a new and novel process was filed in 2019 and is presently advancing through the process. 

Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ commented,

“HPQ has been at the forefront of Low-Cost Green Silicon innovation developments since 2015, and getting this U.S. patent approval, combined with the ongoing commissioning of the GEN3 PUREVAP™ QRR pilot plant , has occurred at an opportune time, as demand continues to rise and bottlenecks we had foreseen are now occurring in the silicon supply chain. With ESG principles playing an active role in materials sourcing, the world is more aware of the difficulty of securing the ESG compliant Silicon needed to meet its renewable energy goals. The reality of chronic underinvestment in new technologies combined with the offshoring of Silicon production capacity, has created a massive opportunity for HPQ and its PUREVAP™ QRR patented process, as we are the only company to bring to market a new process to make Silicon that is perfectly suited to the new demands and realities of the Silicon market

VIDEO – HPQ Breakthrough Green Hydrogen Extraction Is “Scalable With No Limits”, Capable Of Powering Homes Or Entire Cities

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:17 PM on Thursday, September 30th, 2021

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

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:

As such, HPQ firmly believes its silicon products will play an important role in the renewable energy revolution.

ENTER HYDROGEN – “SCALABLE WITH NO LIMITS”

To this end, the Company has also set its sights on Hydrogen with the following 2 press releases:

AUGUST HPQ Launches Revolutionary and Breakthrough Green Hydrogen Extraction Technology Venture

SEPTEMBER HPQ Receives TSX Venture Approval to Proceed With EBH2 Green Hydrogen Extraction Technology Venture

How powerful is this Revolutionary & Breakthrough Green Hydrogen? Try “SCALABLE WITH NO LIMITS”

“EBH2 is scalable with no limits.  It can power a small domestic generator up to ships, factories, buildings, cryptocurrency mines with high energy consumption and even cities.”

Independent validation of the technology is expected to be complete over the next 60 days. If successful, HPQ proposes to bundle the energy production capability of EBH2 systems with its silicon production to further reduce the environmental footprint of its developing high purity silicon, nano powders, and other Renewable Energy products.  Moreover, if successful, EBH2 would provide HPQ with “power plant” capabilities that would allow it to produce its products anywhere on the planet.

If that wasn’t enough HPQ added the following:

“all the while opening up new, and massive addressable markets for a system that can produce cheaply green hydrogen, on demand …. The Agreement establishes the terms of the creation of a new Joint venture Company (“NEWCO”) owned by HPQ and EBH2 that will market, sell and service EBH2 systems and products in North America (Canada, Mexico, and the United States).  …. units could readily replace solar panels or standby generators for homeowners.”

VIDEO – HPQ Silicon Producing First Samples On Nano Silicon Material Is A Milestone “Equivalent To First Successful Landing Of SpaceX Falcon Rocket”

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:28 PM on Thursday, August 5th, 2021

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

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:

Earlier today the Company took a major step forward when $HPQ announced it successfully produced the first batch samples of Nano Silicon Materials.  

To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:

” The HPQ NANO team is now more confident than ever that the PUREVAPTM NSiR will be able to deliver, at scale, and on-demand, a nano silicon for anode production that will be cost competitive. The validation announced today …. was the big breakthrough we were looking for”

Peter Pascali, President and CEO of technology partner PyroGenesis added a little more excitement when he stated:

“Words cannot adequately describe the excitement at PyroGenesis at potentially being able to address and solve challenges in developing lithium-ion batteries, which are sought after by many industries but specifically the EV market.”

Using an analogy to describe the importance of this milestone, $HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon stated it was equivalent to the first SpaceX successful landing of its Falcon rocket.  Specifically, though he was confident in their ability to produce Nano Silicon, actually producing it now removes all doubt and the Company can now focus on:

“… Subsequent batches will be delivered to the awaiting automobile manufacturers plus numerous other entities that have demonstrated an interest in receiving samples.“

VIDEO – HPQ Silicon Ability To Create Cleanest Fumed Silica Has Company Already Fielding Calls From Silicon Players Around The World

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:53 PM on Tuesday, July 6th, 2021

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing a portfolio of high value-added silicon products sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers.

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:

Recently, the Company announced a major milestone with this press release HPQ Silicon GEN3 PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Pilot Plant to be Commissioned in Q4 2021

To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:

” Demand for higher purity Silicon, materials that the PUREVAP QRR was designed to produce – but one that traditional silicon producers have a difficult time making, is about to enter a massive growth phase, driven by worldwide demand from the silicones, solar, and batteries industries. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the closing of old inefficient traditional Silicon plants and combining this with the chronic under investment in new conventional Silicon plants that occurred in the past decade, and the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly processes has created a perfect storm for the industry. HPQ should be a key beneficiary of this new reality.”

Today, thanks to HPQ’s great progress on its silicon mission, the Company announced  “An Agreement to Develop a New Environmentally Friendly Process to Manufacture Fumed Silica”
What is Fumed Silica?  Suffice it to say, it is in heavy demand right now but current producers are going to run into strong environmental “ESG” headwinds as the industry is now moving towards clean and verified Fumed Silica that HPQ Silicon believes it will be able to deliver thanks to its powerful relationship with ESG driven PyroGenesis Canada. The market for Fumed Silica is set to hit $USD 2.2 Billion in 2022 and CEO Tourillon wasn’t shy about his confidence in the Company’s potential to win market share with this quote:

““The business opportunity that this represent should not be underestimated and could be as significant as the ones represented by the PUREVAP™ family of processes we are developing with PyroGenesis”

Watch this great interview with $HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon – especially the last 13 minutes – to get the full picture!
