(“PyroGenesis”) (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY1), a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced all-electric plasma processes and sustainable solutions to support heavy industry in their energy transition, emission reduction, commodity security, and waste remediation efforts, announces that it has signed an additional contract with Constellium, one of the world’s largest aluminum transformation and recycling companies, for the purchase of plasma torch technology and related peripheral components to be implemented in an aluminum remelting furnace as part of a broader decarbonization effort. The financial terms of the contract will remain confidential. This contract marks the launch of Phase 2 of the project – industrial implementation – as part of the\n \n two companies’ collaboration agreement of April 2024\n \n . The collaborative agreement outlined Constellium’s stated plan to use PyroGenesis plasma torches and associated processes as potential replacement heating sources for aluminum remelting furnaces in Constellium’s aluminum cast houses.\n \n\n PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS\n \n\n\n Purpose\n \n : explore PyroGenesis’ all-electric plasma torches, among other alternative technologies, to implement cleaner, more sustainable methods for high-temperature industrial heating, reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency in aluminum processing\n \n\n Scope\n \n : integration of proprietary plasma technology in a demonstrator furnace at a Constellium casthouse\n \n\n Timeline\n \n : commissioning expected by Q1 2026\n \n\n Strategic Impact\n \n : supports Constellium’s roadmap to reduce GHG emissions\n \n\n As previously reported (\n \n PyroGenesis’ April 10, 2024, news release\n \n ), PyroGenesis and Constellium signed a letter of intent to implement a demonstrator plasma-heated furnace in one of Constellium’s casthouses, as part of their decarbonization strategy. The initial project was to be imple...
