Novacium, Axel’One and AD-VENTA Secure €1 Million in RAPID Funding from the DGA and AID for the METAGENE™ Green Hydrogen Project

(TSXV:HPQ, OTCQB:HPQFF) HPQ Silicon Inc. announced that its strategic partner, NOVACIUM SAS, is leading the METAGENE™ project consortium, which includes Axel’One and AD-VENTA, and has been awarded funding by the AID and DGA under the RAPID program. The funding agreement for the METAGENE™ project was finalized in June 2026, with the first payment made in summer 2026, and could not be disclosed until now due to confidentiality. The METAGENE™ project aims to develop and validate a self-contained, high-pressure green hydrogen production station, advancing the technology from TRL 3 to TRL 5–6. The project began on September 1, 2026, has a 30-month duration, and a total budget of €1.2 million, subsidized at the program's maximum rate of 80%, representing nearly €1 million in public funding. METAGENE™ is a patented process for producing green hydrogen without electricity, using a solid metallic fuel based on aluminum and silicon, which releases hydrogen upon contact with water and an activator, producing no greenhouse gases and only an inert solid by-product. The fuel is inert in bulk form and not classified as hazardous, simplifying transport and storage, and has an energy density of about 1.25 m³ of hydrogen per kilogram of fuel. Previous industrial partnerships include a memorandum of understanding with GLD Alloys in April 2025 for low-carbon aluminum supply, and an industrial cooperation agreement with AD-VENTA in December 2025 for integrating the METAGENE™ reactor into a dispensing station capable of delivering up to 20 kg of hydrogen per day. Novacium leads the consortium, develops the fuel and reactor, and manages the project; AD-VENTA adapts its compression and dispensing station; Axel’One provides gas analysis, characterization, and expertise in reactors and hydrogen purification. Dr. Jed Kraiem, co-founder and COO of Novacium, and Jean-Luc Mussot, President and CEO of AD-VENTA, commented on the recognition and practical potential of the project. The global green hydrogen market could reach approximately US$500 billion by 2030, with the mobility segment estimated at €25 billion and autonomous energy systems for defense applications at €5 billion to €10 billion. METAGENE™ aims to offer economic advantages by producing hydrogen on-site without electricity or major infrastructure, avoiding transport and storage costs that can exceed €50/kg, and using raw materials costing approximately €20 to €30 per kilogram of hydrogen produced. HPQ Silicon holds a strategic 36.8% interest in Novacium and exclusive commercialization rights to these technologies in North America. HPQ and Novacium are also developing next-generation silicon-based anode materials (GEN3 and GEN4) for batteries and pursuing commercialization of ENDURA+ lithium-ion cells.

HP Brings Ferrari’s Creative Vision to Life for the Special Austin GP Livery

(NYSE: HPQ) HP Inc. announced its collaboration with Scuderia Ferrari HP to produce a special livery for the United States Grand Prix in Austin. HP’s printing and material capabilities enabled the creation of two versions of Ferrari’s creative concept: a race-ready livery for the cars competing in Austin and a dedicated display car featuring hidden graphics that fluoresce blue under ultraviolet light. The livery was conceived and designed by Ferrari and realized through a close technical collaboration with HP, celebrating the design and engineering process behind the car. HP print technology and vehicle wrapping expertise allowed Ferrari’s intricate graphics to be applied seamlessly across the Formula 1 car’s complex bodywork, ensuring durability through the heat, handling, and maintenance of the race weekend. Anneliese Olson, President, Imaging, Printing, and Solutions at HP Inc., stated that HP printing and color science engineers worked alongside Ferrari’s designers and engineers from the outset, generating insights for future customer challenges. Silvia Cavallaro, Head of Color and Trim at Ferrari, highlighted that the collaboration visually brought to life the craftsmanship and innovation behind Ferrari’s performance. The development process involved Ferrari teams in Maranello and HP engineers in Barcelona, who conducted multiple rounds of testing and refinement, adapting materials and application techniques to achieve the final result. For the race cars, HP Latex technology and large format vehicle wrapping expertise were used to reproduce Ferrari’s blueprint graphics. For the display car, HP engineers adapted an existing invisible blue ink for the HP Indigo 200K Digital Press and refined its application to create hidden graphics that fluoresce under ultraviolet light. HP Z Workstations supported the digital design and engineering workflows, enabling Ferrari to transfer the creative onto the car’s bodywork geometry before production. The project generated knowledge with potential applications beyond motorsport, such as packaging and commercial print, including brand protection features in labels and flexible packaging. Testing new combinations of primers, inks, and wrapping materials could support future customer development projects. The project also demonstrated how HP Latex technology and vehicle wrapping expertise can bring intricate designs to complex surfaces that withstand demanding conditions, supporting specialist graphics environments requiring exceptional performance and precision.
