According to PyroGenesis, it has signed a contract with the steelmaker to assess the applicability of its fully electric plasma torches for use in the customer’s electric arc furnace steelmaking and casting processes.
The identity of the customer was not disclosed. 

PyroGenesis said it has been working with the steelmaker over the past few years on various initiatives related to using plasma in decarbonization. 

“(The steelmaker) has taken a methodical approach to its decarbonization initiatives, and we are very pleased our work with them over the past few years has led to official supplier status for PyroGenesis, and resulted in this initial engagement,” said PyroGenesis president and chief executive officer P. Peter Pascali. “Steelmaking is an industry where we continue to make inroads and which we believe offers enormous global potential for plasma use.”
