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:RE:Generation of Hydrogen

Apoolon has a patent on making cheap porous silicon. HPQ is getting to use that patent because we are making the cheapest nano silicon which will then be the porous nano silicon. You guys know this.

Nano-Silicon generated hydrogen 150 times faster than 100-nm silicon and 1,000 times faster than bulk silicon.

But Appollon isn't as interested in the regular old nanosilicon powders like we're making for batteries. For the H2 generation, they want POROUS nanosilicon powders.

Can we make that with the NSiR? Is it more involved and expensive? And what's the difference between the two anyway?

Stay tuned

AIMING TO SEND POROUS SILICON NANOPOWDER SAMPLES TO END USERS BY DECEMBER 2020
Mindful of HPQ’s competitive advantage, the ability of PUREVAP™ QRR to produce 2N to 4N Silicon (Si) at the lowest cost in the industry, HPQ and Apollon are busy manufacturing samples of porous Si nanopowders of different sizes (2 nm to 1 µm) with porous structure sizes of either Microporous (<5nm), Mesoporous (5nm – 50nm) and Macroporous (>50nm).

The aim being to send samples, to end-users’ specifications, by December 2020.
