The 2023 Critical Materials Assessment of the United States Department of Energy is summarized in the news release that was released on Monday, July 31st, 2023. As countries move toward net-zero emissions, it emphasizes silicon’s crucial position in the supply chains for clean energy technologies worldwide and stresses the significance of this involvement.
Highlighting Silicon’s Role in Global Clean Energy and HPQ's Strategic Positioning
Silicon’s position on the list emphasizes its critical role in guaranteeing the viability of a clean energy future for decades to come. This initiative strengthens HPQ Silicon’s strategic position in the renewable energy landscape of North America. In addition, including silicon on the Critical Materials List highlights its importance to the US economy and clean energy future.
HPQ Silicon, with the support of its technological partners PyroGenesis Canada Inc. and NOVACIUM SAS, is poised to capitalize on the prospects presented by this milestone acknowledgment. The company’s drive to create sustainable, cost-effective high-purity silicon production processes fits in perfectly with the worldwide emphasis on clean energy and the increased acknowledgment of Silicon’s importance.
We are thrilled by the US Department of Energy’s recognition of Silicon as a critical material. This endorses our strategic vision and investments in developing green processes to manufacture the high-purity silicon indispensable for clean energy applications.

Implications for HPQ Silicon: Opportunities and Alignments
Inclusion of Silicon on the critical materials list allows HPQ Silicon to align more closely with US energy and manufacturing priorities, potentially leading to government support, eligibility for tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act 48C, and elevated interest from investors.
HPQ, a North American corporation specializing in green technology, is on its way to becoming the region’s leading manufacturer of zero CO2 Silicon. Its applications span from aluminum alloys to the production of High Purity Silicon material (3N & 4N) as a feedstock for polysilicon, which is required for solar panels.
HPQ is also planning to manufacture silicon-based anode materials for battery applications. In addition to these ventures, HPQ is developing a unique technology for the on-demand creation of hydrogen via the hydrolysis of Silicon and other materials.
Our proprietary PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactors technology, position us at the leading edge of this emerging market. We eagerly anticipate capitalizing on this opportunity to stimulate innovation and drive the global clean energy revolution.
