Update from Rio Tinto/IOC regarding Plasma Torches/Burners

Fantastic work Peter and Team on the torches for the iron ore pelletizing industry.

See this LinkedIn post (from Rio Tinto in Labrador City). This bodes very well for Rio/IOC and PyroGenesis (as the power supply is now "up and running):

The IOC and Rio Tinto Plasma Burner trial in Labrador City is an excellent project, and I am proud to be involved. As Rio Tinto says; “Research and development are a key part of our race to decarbonise too. We’re trialling a plasma burner in one of our furnaces – the first of its kind, which could help us eliminate heavy fuel oil (bunker-C) from the pelletizing process.” These three very capable and experienced women Marina van Zyl Alana Earle and Erin Duffett are leading this project, a project that could change IOC and Rio Tinto and help transition the industry to green steel. #project #research #development #decarbonisation #curiosity #greensteel #change
