MONTREAL, Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Inc. ("PyroGenesis") ( (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which are geared to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and address environmental pollutants, announces the granting of European Patent EP 2 686 100 B1, titled "Steam Plasma Arc Hydrolysis of Ozone Depleting Substances". This granted patent covers PyroGenesis' cutting-edge process for the highly efficient destruction of ozone depleting substances, such as used refrigerants from end-of-life cooling apparatus.
蒙特利爾,2025年1月23日(環球新聞)—— PyroGenesis Inc.("PyroGenesis")(TSX:PYR)(OTCQX:PYRGF)(FRA:8PY),一家設計、開發、製造和商業化先進等離子體工藝和可持續解決方案的高科技公司,旨在減少溫室氣體(GHG)並解決環境污染物,宣佈獲得歐洲專利EP 2 686 100 B1,標題爲《臭氧耗竭物質的蒸汽等離子體弧水解》。此項授予的專利涵蓋了PyroGenesis用於高效破壞臭氧耗竭物質(如使用過的製冷劑)的一項尖端工藝,這些製冷劑來自於使用壽命已結束的冷卻設備。
This European patent complements PyroGenesis' U.S. Patent No. 11,116,069, granted in September 2021, and announced in a prior press release. Together, these patents strengthen PyroGenesis' SPARC technology that specifically targets the destruction of end-of-life (EOL) refrigerants such as CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs, which are known for their high global warming potential (GWP). EOL refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases with a GWP that can be thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2). This patent milestone represents another step in the company's ongoing efforts to address the growing global demand for advanced hazardous waste destruction solutions, driven by tightening landfill regulations and the need for more sustainable disposal technologies.
這個歐洲專利補充了PyroGenesis在2021年9月獲得的美國專利第11,116,069號,並在之前的新聞稿中宣佈。結合這些專利加強了PyroGenesis的SPARC技術,專門針對結束壽命(EOL)的製冷劑(如CFC、HCFC和HFC)的毀滅,這些製冷劑以其高全球變暖潛力(GWP)而聞名。EOL製冷劑是強效溫室氣體,其GWP可以比二氧化碳(CO2)高出數千倍。這項專利里程碑代表了公司在應對全球對先進危險廢物處理解決方案日益增長的需求方面又邁出了一步,這種需求源於日益嚴格的填埋場法規和對更可持續處置技術的需求。
"Our patented process uses steam plasma in a multi-zone high temperature reactor to efficiently destroy CFCs, HFCs and HCFs, while minimizing the production of secondary hazardous biproducts and CO2 emissions, compared to conventional incineration," said Pierre Carrabin, CTO and Chief Strategist of PyroGenesis. "This innovative technology can be applied to a wide range of uses, including destroying ozone-depleting substances and hazardous waste treatment, and addresses the untapped need for this torch technology."
「我們的專利工藝在一個多區高溫反應器中使用蒸汽等離子體高效銷燬CFC、HFC和HCF,同時最大限度地減少與傳統焚燒相比產生的二次危險副產品和CO2排放,」PyroGenesis的首席技術官兼首席戰略家Pierre Carrabin說。「這項創新技術可應用於許多用途,包括破壞臭氧耗竭物質和危險廢物處理,並滿足對這項切割技術未被充分開發的需求。」
"This patent approval reinforces our position as a leader in the fight against ozone depletion and greenhouse gas emissions," said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. "This, combined with our earlier U.S. patent, strengthens the intellectual property portfolio for our SPARC technology. It allows us to accelerate commercialization efforts across global markets, specifically Europe and the Middle East, while offering a more environmentally sustainable solution to address ozone-depleting substances."
「這項專利的批准鞏固了我們在應對臭氧消耗和溫室氣體排放方面作爲領導者的地位,」 PyroGenesis 的總裁兼首席執行官 P. Peter Pascali 說道。「這與我們早前獲得的美國專利結合在一起,增強了我們 SPARC 技術的知識產權組合。它使我們能夠加速在全球市場,特別是歐洲和中東的商業化努力,同時提供一種更加環保的解決方案來應對臭氧消耗物質。」
Research suggests that proper management and disposal of HFC refrigerants can help mitigate the effects of climate change, with the potential to reduce global warming by up to 0.5°C by 21001. PyroGenesis' SPARC technology not only offers an efficient solution for the destruction of ozone-depleting substances but also maintains a low carbon footprint—a critical factor in reducing the overall environmental impact.
研究表明,適當管理和處理HFC製冷劑可以幫助減緩氣候變化的影響,有可能到2100年減少全球變暖高達0.5℃。PyroGenesis 的 SPARC 技術不僅提供了高效的臭氧消耗物質銷燬解決方案,還有助於保持低碳足跡——這是減少整體環境影響的關鍵因素。
With this patent, PyroGenesis continues to accelerate the global deployment of its SPARC technology as a safe, effective, and sustainable solution to reduce ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse gases, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
通過這項專利,PyroGenesis 繼續加速其 SPARC 技術在全球的部署,作爲減少臭氧消耗物質和溫室氣體的安全、有效和可持續的解決方案,爲一個更清潔、更可持續的未來做出貢獻。
Separately, PyroGenesis announces the signing of a contract for €156,000 (CA$234,000) with a European Research Center developing a process to convert hydrocarbons, including methane, into other high value chemicals. The name of the client, a major research and innovation lab in Northwestern Europe, will remain anonymous for confidentiality reasons. This contract requires that PyroGenesis manufactures and designs a 50-kW methane plasma torch as the next step to the system previously purchased by the customer and announced on February 7, 2022. The client continues to develop a novel process to convert hydrocarbons, such as methane, into other chemicals such as olefins (which are widely used as base materials for many products, including plastics, detergents and adhesives) namely ethylene. Ethylene (C2H4), an olefinic chemical, is the largest volume organic chemical produced globally and a basic building block for the chemistry industry. The majority of ethylene and propylene are produced from crude oil, which consumes enormous amounts of energy2, and generates large amounts of CO2.3 This new production technique under development aims to replace the traditionally difficult, expensive and inefficient processes that currently exist.
另外,PyroGenesis 宣佈與一家歐洲研究中心簽署了一份價值156,000歐元(加幣234,000)的合同,該中心正在開發將 hydrocarbons(包括甲烷)轉化爲其他高價值化學品的過程。客戶名稱爲一所位於西北歐洲的重要研究和創新實驗室,由於保密原因將保持匿名。該合同要求 PyroGenesis 設計和製造一臺50千瓦的甲烷等離子火炬,作爲客戶於2022年2月7日宣佈的先前購買系統的下一步。客戶繼續開發一種新流程,將 hydrocarbons(例如甲烷)轉化爲其他化學品,如烯烴(廣泛用作許多產品的基礎材料,包括塑料、清潔劑和粘合劑),即乙烯。乙烯(C2H4)是一種烯烴化學品,是全球產量最大的有機化學品,也是化學工業的基本構建塊。大多數乙烯和丙烯是由 WTI原油 生產的,這消耗了大量的能源,並生成大量的二氧化碳。此項正在開發的新生產技術旨在取代當前存在的傳統困難、昂貴且低效的工藝。
PyroGenesis' development of plasma torches is central to its three-tiered solution ecosystem, addressing critical economic and environmental needs in global heavy industry. Within the Waste Remediation tier, SPARC leverages high-power plasma torches to safely and efficiently destroy hazardous substances and end-of-life materials, including ozone-depleting substances. This aligns with the company's broader mission, which also includes the Energy Transition & Emissions Reduction tier, where electric-powered plasma torches enable fuel switching to reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions, and the Commodity Security and Optimization tier, which focuses on enhancing resource efficiency and sustainability.
PyroGenesis開發的等離子火炬是其三層解決方案生態系統的核心,滿足全球重工業在經濟和環保方面的關鍵需求。在廢物管理層,SPARC利用高功率等離子火炬安全高效地銷燬有害物質和使用過的材料,包括破壞臭氧物質。這與公司的更廣泛使命相一致,其中還包括能源轉型與減排層,在該層中電力驅動的等離子火炬能夠實現燃料切換,從而減少化石燃料的使用和溫室氣體排放,以及商品安全和優化層,專注於提高資源效率和可持續性。
