HPQ Silicon Inc V.HPQ

Alternate Symbol(s): HPQFF

HPQ Silicon Inc. (HPQ) is a Canada-based technology company specializing in green engineering of silica and silicon-based materials. The Company is engaged in developing, with the support of technology partners PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PyroGenesis) and Novacium SAS, new green processes to make the critical materials needed to reach net zero emissions. Its activities are centered around the three pillars: becoming a green low-cost (Capex and Opex) manufacturer of Fumed Silica using the Fumed Silica Reactor, a proprietary technology owned by HPQ being developed for HPQ by PyroGenesis; becoming a producer of silicon-based anode materials for battery applications with the assistance of Novacium SAS, and Novacium SAS is engaged in developing a low carbon, chemical base on demand and high-pressure autonomous hydrogen production system. The Company operates in a single operating segment, segment, being the sector of the transformation of quartz into silicon materials and derivative products.

RE:RE:RE:Energy capacity and battery density --- what it really means

I have to correct this information, we can only expect about 40% of energy gain in the batteries. Just saw another pvbuzz video with Bernard from early 2020, I had not seen it but he clearly states 40% gain for same battery size. So forget the 20x price tag but I trust him when he says he's going to create it at much lower prices and bigger volumes than competition.

If you can multiply by 10x the range, you can get the same range with 10% of sillicon mass versus graphite. The price can then be at least 10 times the graphite price.

Also, you would get reduction in cost for other material since batteries would be smaller, would weight less.

Car builder would have less of a puzzle on how to fit those smaller lighter batteries in their designs.

All of this makes me think that it would still sell easily at 20x the price of graphite...

Low volume day with manipulators on the forum, nothing to worry with SP.

HPQ & PYR are an investors wet dream... Glad to be in, thanks to all the great posters here!

Tesla batteries have a capacity of 75 Kwh for model 3 and 100 Kwh for the model S allowing a range of approximately 370 miles or 600 KM.

The life span of these batteries packs is between 300,000 and 500,000 miles or 480,000 to 800,000 Km as the batteries normally cannot be charged and discharged more than 1500 times

A 10x increace in capacity would allow either batteries of 750-1000 Kwh allowing a range of 3,700 miles or 6,000 Km or ten times less batteries to allow prior range using traditional batteries.
The life span of these new silicon li-ion batteries would theoretically be 10 times batter than what the traditional batteries were able to provide

Furthermore the battery density being spoken by Peter Pascali, I assume, is the Gravimetric energy density which measures the Watts Hour per Kg. The use of silicon as an anode material would thus reduce the weight of the batteries by 20%-40% as compared to traditional batteries. This is absolutely HUGE as noted by Peter.
