PyroGenesis Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Pyro Green-Gas Inc., has completed the previously announced $9.3 million coke-oven gas valorization (via purification, desulphurization, and heavy hydrocarbon removal) and hydrogen production project for Tata Steel, one of the world's largest diversified steel producers. As outlined in a news release dated May 3, 2023, Pyro Green-Gas was contracted to supply (i) coke-oven gas purification solutions and (ii) hydrogen production processes, to extract hydrogen and other toxic gases from the blast furnace process, then separate, clean, and process the gases to render hydrogen to a 99.999% purity level. With today's announcement, the project has been completed, and the systems developed by Pyro Green-Gas are in continuous 24hr./day operation at the Tata steel facility in Kalinganagar India.

The newly transformed hydrogen produced by the system is being reused by other applications at the facility, improving production efficiency and environmental outcomes. The project contributes to Tata's circular production goals, as well as to their cost reduction programs. Blast furnaces utilize coking coal, or "coke", as part of the process to transform iron ore into steel.oke acts as both a fuel to generate the intense heat required for smelting and as a reducing agent to remove oxygen from the iron ore. The gas released during the coke production process, known as coke-oven gas or "COG", is a toxic mix of human carcinogens comprised of approximately 54% hydrogen with the balance consisting of methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, tar, naphthalene, and other hydrocarbons which must be separated and removed before the hydrogen can be cleaned, reformed, and reused.i PyroGenesis' subsidiary Pyro Green-Gas has decades of experience designing and installing technology solutions for these purposes.oke oven gas cleaning solutions are part of the Company's Energy Transition & Emissions Reduction vertical, where gas cleaning and conversion technologies, and fuel switching to PyroGenesis' electric-powered plasma TVs, helps heavy industry reduce energy costs, fossil fuel use, and emissions.

The other verticals are Waste Remediation and Commodity Security and Optimization.
