Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from PyroGenesis Canada ( (TSE:PYR) ) is now available.

PyroGenesis’ plasma-based SPARC system has been officially commissioned at New Zealand’s new National Refrigerant Destruction Facility, the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, under a contract valued at about $6 million. The plant can destroy up to 100,000 kg a year of end-of-life synthetic refrigerants, eliminating gases with a combined warming potential equivalent to 220 million kilograms of CO2.

The facility allows New Zealand to process hazardous refrigerants domestically instead of stockpiling and shipping them to Australia for incineration, cutting logistics risks and emissions. Powered in part by nearby geothermal energy, the all-electric steam plasma technology offers lower operating costs and a reduced carbon footprint versus conventional incineration, bolstering PyroGenesis’ positioning as a provider of cleaner waste destruction solutions.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:PYR) stock is a Sell with a C$0.25 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on PyroGenesis Canada stock, see the TSE:PYR Stock Forecast page.
