This includes its hydrogen extraction technology venture, combined with the upcoming commercial validation of the PUREVAP Quartz Reduction Reactor technology.
HPQ Silicon’s President and CEO, Bernard Tourillon, that the value proposition from the company is derived from harnessing the potential of the silicon materials innovations and the manufacturing and commercializing of silicon and nano silicon materials needed for ESG compliant silicon materials.
“These materials will be used to meet the present market demand for high purity Silicon and the up-and-coming demand for nanosilicon Silicon driven by the ongoing renewable energy revolution. That is why now is the right time for HPQ to become a Tier 1 level Industrial, Technology or Life Sciences issuer which aligns our industry classification with the most important drivers of shareholder value moving forward.”
