HPQ Silicon Inc. and its French partner, Novacium SAS, have entered into a strategic partnership with Pragma Industries, a leading designer of fuel cells in France, to accelerate the commercialization of METAGENE™ green hydrogen production systems. The innovative METAGENE™ technology, developed by Novacium, utilizes a safe aluminum-silicon alloy to produce high-pressure green hydrogen efficiently without the need for electricity, costly storage, or heavy infrastructure. This collaboration aims to integrate METAGENE™ stations into Pragma's sustainable mobility solutions, particularly focusing on last-mile transportation needs. Pragma Industries, with over 20 years of experience in hydrogen technology, sees METAGENE™ as a breakthrough solution for decentralized hydrogen production. The partnership also extends to Pragma's involvement in the MANGABHY project for fuel cells for drones, where METAGENE™'s compactness and ability to produce hydrogen on demand provide significant advantages. Pragma Industries CEO, Pierre Forté, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting how METAGENE™ technology aligns with their commitment to a sustainable and cost-effective energy transition. The agreement includes plans for a pilot phase to validate a daily production capacity of 10 kg of hydrogen, intended for powering fleets of hydrogen vehicles and drones. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Inc. and Novacium SAS, emphasized the transformative potential of METAGENE™ in green mobility and drone sectors. The agreement signifies a significant step towards addressing long-standing challenges in the development of hydrogen applications, offering new possibilities for deployment models in various sectors. Dr. Jed Kraiem of Novacium praised the autonomy and scalability provided by METAGENE™, highlighting its potential in mobility, remote operations, and industrial use. The strategic partnership aims to revolutionize the green hydrogen industry and drive sustainable solutions for future energy needs.
