PLANS IN PLACE FOR SILICON BASED BATTERY MATERIAL PRODUCTION IN NORTH AMERICA

In order to begin the process of helping close that deficit, $HPQ.ca announced that they are in Early-Stage Planning for a Silicon-Based Battery Material Production Line in North America in 2024 targeting 200 tonnes per year and $US 6,000,000 in sales using the current price of $US 30/Kg … with the intention of building up its North American capacity more than 10X that amount to 2,500 tonnes per year of High Purity Silicon produced by its Gen4 PUREVAP Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR) as feedstock for a battery material production line, among other applications.

New silicon anodes could help EV batteries go farther, charge faster

April 4 (Reuters) - A new generation of electric vehicle (EV) batteries that hold more energy, achieve longer driving range and charge more quickly should begin reaching customers by mid-decade, powered by new silicon-based electrodes that are slated to go into production next year in central Washington state.

GEN3 PUREVAP™ QRR PILOT PLANT VALIDATION: PURITY AND PROCESS MILESTONES REACHED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

MONTREAL, Canada, March 16th, 2023 — HPQ Silicon Inc. (“HPQ” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQX: HPQFF) (FRA: O08), a technology company engaged in green engineering processes for producing silica and silicon material, would like to inform shareholders of the two (2) major milestones reached as we continue with series #1 (January 19, 2023 release) of the GEN3 PUREVAPTM Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR) (“GEN3 QRR”) (“Pilot Plant”) testing and validation program.

Technology provider PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA: 8PY) (“Pyrogenesis”) achieved, under less-than-optimal operating conditions, better than expected purity results, and demonstrated its ability to operate the Pilot Plant on a semi – continuous basis. Both are described in more detail below.

PRODUCED SILICON EXCEEDS 99.5% BEST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PURITY THRESHOLD
Pyrogenesis tested the purity of Silicon material produced during the first three (3) series #1 tests

HPQ announces early-stage planning for a silicon-based battery material production line in North America

MONTREAL, Canada — HPQ Silicon Inc. (“HPQ” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQX: HPQFF) (FRA: O08), a technology company engaged in green engineering processes for producing silica and silicon material, would like to inform shareholders on plans to build a silicon-based battery material production line in North America (“N.A”).

Eventually, as the Company has reported, HPQ expects to use the 2,500 tonnes per year (TPY) of High Purity Silicon produced by its Gen4 PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR) as feedstock for a battery material production line, among other applications.

Between now and then, HPQ intends to build up its North American capacity gradually and gain the expertise and market presence (share) to accomplish that goal. Since the minimal commercial capacity of the systems being tested to make Silicon battery material is 200 TPY, HPQ’s first modular production line capacity will be set at 200 TPY capacity to produce sub – 5-micron size Silicon (Si) powders or 300 TPY of less than 5-micron SiOx powders.

SILICON DEMAND TO INCREASE TO RESOLVE BATTERY PERFORMANCE ISSUES

A rather recent (industrial) development is the introduction of small amounts (between 5% to 10%) of silicon or silicon oxide (SiOx) to graphite composite electrodes, since pure graphite anodes have essentially reached their maximum performance concerning energy density1. Using estimates of graphite demand, this application suggests a minimum of 400,000 tonnes (t) to 800,000 t of silicon would be required just to satisfy the gap in graphite demand by 20402. By 2030 it is estimated a minimum of 100,000 TPY will be required.

HPQ INVESTIGATING EARLY START TO PRODUCTION

To facilitate the early move toward production and to enter the market as quickly as possible, the Company, with input from Novacium, is developing plans to create an initial production facility that can produce 200 TPY of micron-size Si and SiOx powders for battery applications by 2024. After onboarding Novacium in Q3 of 2022, HPQ tasked the company to identify micron size Si or SiOx material characteristics and markets and propose pathways through which HPQ can use to build a North American material production line.

The principal characteristics of the Silicon material needed are its size (less than 5 microns in powder form, and purity (at least 3N+ or 99.95% Si). Presently, the potential selling price for this spec material in North America, duties and transportation costs included, stand at approximately US$ 30 per Kg3.

PyroGenesis Provides Update on the PUREVAP™ QRR Project with HPQ Silicon Inc.

Process Testing Moving Forward as Expected; Engineering Study to Follow

MONTREAL, Feb. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”), that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and address environmental pollutants, is pleased to provide, further to HPQ Silicon Inc’s (“HPQ” or the “Client”) press release dated January 19th 2023, and the Company’s news release on November 8, 2022, an update on its Gen3 PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR) pilot plant (the “ Gen3 PUREVAP ™ Pilot Plant” or the “Pilot Plant”) project following recent inquiries from investors.

The process testing referred to in the HPQ press release dated January 19th, 2023, is moving forward as expected and represents, in management’s opinion, a key development in the overall project. These tests are geared to not only confirm that the technology works as expected, but also to give input into the subsequent engineering study which will be geared to determining amongst other things, the actual number of systems required for commercialization and the profitability of each.

“The question that keeps being asked of us is what does successful testing ultimately mean to PyroGenesis?”, said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis, “The answer is that besides the strategic investment PyroGenesis has in HPQ, the Company also benefits from a royalty payment representing 10% of the Client’s sales. In addition to this, the subsequent commercial systems required by HPQ for commercialization would be manufactured by PyroGenesis. Although these current tests and the subsequent engineering study will determine the profitability of the project, they will also determine the exact number of reactors required. To give more clarity, at this stage both HPQ and PyroGenesis agree, given what we know today, that at least two (2) initial reactors, each reactor capable of producing 2,500 MT of high purity silicon per year, at a build cost to HPQ of at least $20 million each, would be required. This assumes successful testing which, although we are confident in, is not guaranteed as there are many uncertainties yet to be addressed before we can say with confidence that we have a successful process to commercialize.”

GEN3 PUREVAP™ QRR Pilot Plant: Process Testing Moving Forward on Schedule

MONTREAL, Jan. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HPQ Silicon Inc. (“HPQ” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQX: HPQFF) (FRA: O08), a technology company engaged in green engineering processes of producing silica and silicon material, would like to inform investors of the next milestones planned as its GEN3 PUREVAPTM Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR) (“GEN3 QRR”) (“Pilot Plant”) testing program passes the halfway mark.

During the past six (6) months of the program technology provider PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA: 8PY), validated that the GEN3 QRR pilot plant operates as designed and produces Silicon (Si) Materials.

Having passed the halfway mark, the remaining months of the program will focus on achieving key milestones that will dictate the start and end of a series of process improvement tests. These three series of process improvement tests will enable us to collect important data required to advance the project to the next logical step, planning the development of our first commercial scale plant (PUREVAPTM GEN4 QRR).
