08:13 AM EDT, 04/10/2024 (MT Newswires) -- PyroGenesis Canada ( PYRGF ) , which makes plasma processes geared to reducing greenhouse gases, said Wednesday that it signed a letter of intent with Constellium, a global aluminum transformation and recycling company, to develop plasma torches and related processes as suitable heating sources for aluminum remelting furnaces.

As part of the partnership, the companies will implement an industrial-scale aluminum remelting furnace. Constellium will use the furnace as part of its decarbonization strategy.

PyroGenesis and Constellium will conduct feasibility studies and engineering and implement a demonstrator plasma-heated furnace system in one of Constellium's aluminum casthouses.
