CHAR Tech Moves Forward with Kiln Installation
CHAR Technologies Ltd. (“CHAR Tech”) (TSXV:YES), a frontrunner in sustainable energy innovations, recently announced that the initial commercial High Temperature Pyrolysis (HTP) kiln has arrived at the Thorold Renewable Energy Facility. The installation of this kiln marks a significant step forward in the facility’s development, with the feedstock handling line conveyors also being set up. These developments are crucial as the project aims for the commencement of biocarbon production.
Production Goals and Future Plans
Phase 1 of the Thorold facility is designed to transform a substantial amount of wood waste—up to 35,000 tonnes annually—into over 5,000 tonnes of biocarbon each year. This biocarbon is set to be utilized primarily by ArcelorMittal Dofasco, Canada’s leading flat roll steel manufacturer. This collaboration, established under a previously announced offtake agreement, aims to decrease fossil carbon usage in steelmaking processes.
Expansion Plans
Following the successful completion of Phase 1, CHAR Tech is poised to initiate Phase 2 of the facility’s construction. This phase involves the installation of a second HTP kiln, which will double the production capacity, as well as the addition of methanation equipment. This equipment will upgrade synthetic gas to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), alongside constructing an onsite natural gas injection point. Ultimately, the Thorold Renewable Energy Facility is expected to achieve its full commercial production capacity by 2026.
CEO’s Vision for Progress
Andrew White, CEO of CHAR Tech, expressed enthusiasm regarding the kiln installation. "This milestone signifies a pivotal moment for the Thorold project. Our team, alongside our partners at BMI, has ensured that the construction has remained on a robust timeline, leading us to this final phase of installation. We are excited to initiate commercial operations come January," White stated.
