HPQ Silicon’s core technology centers on its PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactors, which produce silicon at purities from 2N+ to 4N with zero CO₂ emissions, and its Fumed Silica Reactor for manufacturing fumed silica additives. The company also develops processes for silicon suboxide (SiOx), fumed alumina, and titanium oxides for battery cathodes to enhance energy storage efficiency.
Key products include the GEN3 silicon-anode material offering a 30% improvement in energy return over 650 cycles, fumed silica produced via the Fumed Silica Reactor, silicon suboxide (SiOx) precursors, and fumed alumina and titanium oxides for battery cathodes.
In 2025, HPQ pilot-produced fumed silica to become Canada’s first domestic supplier, demonstrated GEN3 batteries exceeding 900 cycles with a 31% energy gain, secured a patent for a one-step fumed alumina and titanium oxides process, saw NOVACIUM file a provisional patent for aluminum waste conversion, and increased its stake in NOVACIUM to 28.4%.
Investissement Québec holds 8.7% of the company. Management and board members collectively own between 6.3% and 10.7%. CEO Bernard Tourillon owns 2.9%. Strategic investors hold 7%. Key partners include PyroGenesis Canada Inc. and NOVACIUM SAS.
