Title:
Development of an electrode plasma heating system
Agreement Number:
20983
Agreement Value:
$200,000.00
Agreement Date:
Aug 11, 2025 - Feb 11, 2026
Description:
The National Research Council (NRC) and the Natural Resource Canada (NRCan) aim to identify and promote cost-effective approaches for net-zero industrial processes that could include renewable energy integration, energy efficiency, electrification or other technologies that replace process heating requirements.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
This project relates to the field of industrial processing requiring high-power heating, e.g., pyroprocessing, such as cement production via low-carbon clinker production in rotary kilns using electrical energy. More particularly, this project application relates to non-consumable electrodes for use in ovens, furnaces or kilns, which are designed to provide high thermal power through electrical arc plasmas.
