Direct electrification via plasma torches is the most efficient solution for decarbonizing high-temperature industrial processes. This applies to the production of aluminum, glass, cement, iron ore, steel and ceramics.
At PyroGenesis Canada Inc. / PyroGense Canada inc.we are addressing ~17% of the worlds fossil fuel use, primarily by replacing polluting gas burners across those sectors with our emissions-free electric plasma torches.
Plasma torches are an environmental technology first and foremost, but will ultimately usurp the status quo of fossil fuel combustion as they are capable of reducing operating costs and improving overall process efficiency. Environmental technologies that simultaneously reduce costs will naturally achieve widespread adoption first.
My colleague Juan E. Salazar, P.Eng. will be presenting our results in the application of plasma torches in aluminum melting furnaces at TMS 2024. If you are an aluminum producer interested in decarbonization and furnace efficiency improvement, we hope to see you there.
On that note, congratulations to Norsk Hydro and Hilde Merete Aasheim on the definitive step forward.
