RE:PyroGenesis and Progressive Planet - PozPyro

Some points worth highlighting from the work that PyroGenesis is doing with Progressive Planet Solutions. See this NR from May 2024 for further details:

https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2024/05/02/pyrogenesis-announces-28-day-lab-strength-tests-achieve-up-to-99-56-above

In other words, these tests suggest that not only can PozPyro potentially outperform other traditional cement additive products in strength, it has the potential to directly outperform pure cement alone.

The results for the individual Series B test showed a blend of Portland Cement containing 20% PozPyro far surpassed this target, achieving a peak result of 54.15 MPa – a result 99.56% higher than the minimum acceptable value.

The overall average gain for all tests in both series A and B was +67.43% against the minimum compliant for an acceptable cement additive product.

The overall average gain for all tests in both series A and B was +25% against the maximum product compliance for an acceptable cement additive product. This result means that the PozPyro material, when added to Portland Cement at a 20%/80% blend, outperformed a cement-only Portland Cement control in strength tests by 25%.

“Not only were we able to far surpass the minimum acceptable product standard compared to 75% of the control, but when compared to a full value of the control the PozPyro green cement additive showed a 49.67% gain. In other words, these tests suggest that not only can PozPyro potentially outperform other traditional cement additive products in strength, it has the potential to directly outperform pure cement alone. As I’ve stated before, the cement industry is a key target for us, and we have high expectations for the PozPyro green cement additive material.”

“These results were exceptional and provide us the technical confidence to take the next steps to bring this product to market. In the Pacific Northwest alone, over one million tons of fly ash will cease to be generated.

And from ceo:

@ToolmanTim “The heavy industries of cement, aluminium and steel currently represent 18 per cent of total global CO2 emissions” … and Pyrogenesis is involved in projects with all three of these industries. Only a matter of time. Go $PYR!

@arizona I'm wondering if the PozPyro also improves the tensile strength of the concrete. That would be an interesting win-win. It might be worth noting that the longevity of the Roman architecture and roads was the result of the volcanic ash they put in their cement, which made it basically waterproof and less subject to cracking. Today's typical Portland cement used for foundations, sidewalks, etc contains no ash, and therefore won't last for centuries. Another possible plus would be to let some contractors try it out to see if it is easier to work with. That would be quite the plus if the customers were demanding it. All the recent releases remind me of Lucy's comment to Charlie Brown - there's no heavier burden than a great potential ... and we wait ...

@ToolmanTim At the bottom of that article I posted about be they mention Heidelberg Materials is one the few (so far) that are well on their way to CO2 neutrality… and in this article from their website they are already trialing processes that use “plasma”. “…demonstrated that a combination of biomass, hydrogen and plasma energy could be used to eliminate 100 per cent of fossil fuel CO emissions from cement manufacturing” https://www.heidelbergmaterials.com/en/pr-01-10-2021

Start at the 13:40 mark for the work that PLAN and PYR are doing.

And from ceo:

@I_M_Volatile It also validates the time it takes to work on these complicated projects. It was mentioned the original time frame was estimated to take a year, but working through some enormous problem it took two.

And an older video from Progressive Planet Solutions Inc.'s CEO, Stephen Harpur, when he presented at the Rivemont MicroCap Cocktail Event in May 2023. Great presentation done by Stephen:

The 22:00 mark he talks about what PLAN and PyroGenesis are doing (very interesting). At the end of the presentation there are a couple of Q&As where he goes into more detail regarding what PLAN and PYR are doing. Very interesting.
