PyroGenesis secures US$1.2 million cement industry contract
['Alfie Lloyd-Perks']
World Cement
Scope: supply of proprietary plasma technology for integration into a calcination furnace, used as part of the cement production process.
Strategic impact: supports end customer and cement industry goals to reduce GHG emissions and produce cleaner, 'greener' cement.
PyroGenesis was in negotiations with a European entity to use plasma torches in a calcination process related to cement production.
Fossil fuel combustion and CO 2 released during the calcination process are major sources of emissions in the cement industry.
40% of cement industry emissions come from fossil-fuel combustion to power calcination.
