HPQ Silicon (TSXV:HPQ), a battery materials stock, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a German industrial and chemical manufacturer on November 24, 2024.

The client, which boasts over 50 years of experience, seeks to upgrade its manufacturing capabilities by integrating HPQ’s Purevap silicon-based anode material technology.

HPQ and its partner Novacium will work from the client’s industrial park, perform technical due diligence to design, build and operate a potential production facility, and validate the project’s feasibility through an engineering, procurement and construction partner. The collaboration is subject to a definitive agreement once all planning phases are finalized.

According to Tuesday’s news release, European demand for battery materials is expected to require between 100,000 and 300,000 tons of advanced silicon-based anode materials annually by 2030.
