From high-efficiency torches to billion-dollar clients, this Canadian tech company is proving that clean heat can mean big business.
As global industries scramble to decarbonize and future-proof their operations, one Montreal-based company is emerging as a key enabler of the clean energy transition. PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF | FRA: 8PY1), a high-tech leader in all-electric plasma technologies, is gaining serious traction with some of the world’s largest players in aluminum, defense, aerospace, and steelmaking.
After a breakout 2024, the company is now sitting on a $54.4 million backlog of signed and awarded contracts — 87% denominated in U.S. dollars — and showing no signs of slowing down.
Turning Heat Into Revenue: Record Year, Profitable Quarter
PyroGenesis reported $15.7 million in revenue for FY2024, a 27% increase over the previous year. Q4 alone saw a 40% revenue boost year-over-year, clocking in at $4.22 million with a net income of $145,320 — a dramatic turnaround from the $9.8 million loss reported in Q4 2023.
This marked the seventh straight quarter of revenue growth, a sign of both strong execution and growing demand for the company’s ultra-high-temperature solutions. Gross margins improved to 41.3% in Q4, while SG&A expenses were slashed by $20 million year-over-year, reflecting strong cost discipline.
World-Class Clients, World-Changing Tech
PyroGenesis isn’t just innovating — it’s executing at scale with some of the world’s biggest industrial names:
- Norsk Hydro, one of the largest aluminum producers globally, awarded PyroGenesis a ~$2.4 million contract to supply plasma torches for fossil fuel replacement at its flagship plant in Norway.
- Boeing has entered into the final stages of certification to approve PyroGenesis’ NexGen™ titanium metal powder for aerospace applications.
- A $27 million contract from a U.S. defense and aerospace contractor to build a 20-megawatt plasma torch — believed to be among the most powerful ever produced.
- The U.S. Department of Defense tapped PyroGenesis to destroy toxic PFAS chemicals with its advanced plasma technology.
This kind of customer validation doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of more than a decade of R&D, patents, and performance.
Three Verticals, One Mission: Clean Industry
PyroGenesis’ strategy is built around three core business verticals — all aligned with global industrial needs:
- Energy Transition & Emission Reduction
Replacing fossil fuel burners with electric plasma torches in steel, aluminum, and cement production. - Waste Remediation
Destroying toxic “forever chemicals” and hazardous waste with zero-emissions plasma tech. - Commodity Security & Optimization
Recovering critical minerals, creating high-purity powders, and transforming waste into valuable materials like renewable natural gas and fumed silica.
This diversified approach positions PyroGenesis not just as a clean tech company — but as an essential solutions provider for modern industry.
Operational Momentum and Market Tailwinds
2025 has opened with strong tailwinds. The company:
- Secured new contracts with multi-billion-dollar clients in aluminum and waste-to-energy sectors.
- Launched joint studies with GE Vernova, targeting furnace electrification for iron ore pelletization and aluminum smelting.
- Advanced live-furnace testing for aluminum and steel plasma heating with multiple global manufacturers.
With governments and industries accelerating toward decarbonization targets, demand for factory-ready, emission-reducing technology is surging — and PyroGenesis is delivering.
The Bottom Line: Execution Meets Opportunity
PyroGenesis is no longer just a tech innovator — it’s a proven commercial operator with real clients, real contracts, and real momentum. Its plasma technologies are solving multi-billion-dollar problems across energy, defense, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing.
As industries demand cleaner, faster, and smarter ways to produce materials, PyroGenesis is answering with a rare combination: breakthrough innovation and operational scale.
This is one small-cap that’s powering some very big shifts.
