PyroGenesis Completes $9.3 Million Coke-Oven Gas Valorization and Hydrogen Production Project for Tata Steel
Key Ideas
- PyroGenesis' subsidiary successfully completed a project for Tata Steel in India, purifying coke-oven gas and extracting hydrogen to a high purity level, contributing to circular production goals and cost reduction programs.
- The systems developed by Pyro Green-Gas are operational 24 hours a day at the Tata steel facility, improving production efficiency and environmental outcomes through the reuse of the newly reformed hydrogen.
- The project showcases the potential impact of effective COG cleaning and valorization solutions in the steel industry, with PyroGenesis purifying 32,000 cubic meters of coke-oven gas per hour and extracting 620 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour.
PyroGenesis Inc. announced the completion of a $9.3 million coke-oven gas valorization and hydrogen production project for Tata Steel in Kalinganagar, India. The project involved purifying coke-oven gas and extracting hydrogen to a 99.999% purity level. The hydrogen produced is being reused at the facility, enhancing production efficiency and environmental outcomes. Pyro Green-Gas' systems are now operational 24 hours a day, contributing to Tata's circular production goals and cost reduction programs. The success of the project has led to discussions for new initiatives with Tata Steel. PyroGenesis' technology solutions address the need for effective COG cleaning and valorization in the steel industry, with the potential to impact global steel projects significantly. The project aligns with PyroGenesis' focus on Energy Transition & Emissions Reduction, part of their solution ecosystem for global heavy industry. Pyro Green-Gas, the subsidiary responsible for the project, offers expertise in biogas upgrading and air pollution controls, with a focus on producing high-purity hydrogen and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
