Raphaelle2 ... Nice try.  Or should I say nice FUD.

So according to you, VALE would have done all these steps with PYR, even a SAT test and planning for a FAT test for nothing?

our plasma torch system for iron ore pelletization is now on-site with the Client in preparation for first-ever live factory usage toward that carbon reduction goal. 

Maybe you should try to answer to your own "??????????????????????????????????????????" so you could be find holes in your FUD post.  Come on.  Give it a try.  Try to go deeper in your posts, instead of just playing FUD.

VALE CHOOSES NATURAL GAS FOR 100% OF ITS PELLETIZING PLANT

Holy Cow!

Vale has just made its choice with natural gas for 100% of their pelletizing furnaces in Brazil, China and Oman. This will totally eliminate the use of liquid fuel by 2024.

See Vale July 1, 2022  Press Release.

Technically speaking, I think this is by far the best solution for several reasons:

- the most economical choice (capital and operation)
- proven and readily available, starting in 2023. 
- fully compatible with liquefied natural gas, bio-syngas and hydrogen ( or a mixture of both for the future)
- electric grid independent

They also indicates to be developing additional CO2 free solution like biocarbon.
 
This raises several questions:
 
- Who is client A?
-If Vale is indeed client A, why this has not been published before (Vale PR of July 1, 2022)
- Absolutely nothing on the Vale.com sites (Brazil, China and Canada) on Plasma Torch or Pyrogenesis.
 
Also, what impact could this decision have on the  pelletizing facilities of Rio Tinto and BHP in Australia and elsewhere? 

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
