PyroGenesis (TSX:PYR) has disclosed EarthGrid as the client behind a US$13 million multi-plasma-torch contract announced in January.

EarthGrid is an infrastructure company focused on plasma-based boring technology. Its recent joint venture agreement with EnerTech – an entity of the Kuwait Investment Authority – covers infrastructure projects in four phases across the United States, Europe and the Middle East. The first two phases will see an investment of approximately US$18 billion across the United States.

PyroGenesis’ contract with EarthGrid details the design and construction of five high-powered 2 MW air plasma torch systems. To date, the company has received a US$500,000 non-refundable down payment for future services.

The contract adds to PyroGenesis’ growing list of high-profile clients, with recent highlights including global aluminum product manufacturer Constellium, a global mining supply company and one of the five largest global steelmakers.
