HyOrc Corporation, a developer of hydrogen-capable combustion and waste-to-fuel systems, has successfully completed the on-site process verification phase with Bureau Veritas, a global testing and certification body, for its waste-to-methanol synthesis technology. This milestone represents a critical step toward the commercial deployment of HyOrc's technology and supports the advancement of its planned pilot facility in Porto, Portugal, as well as its industrial-scale project under development in Bulgaria.

Why it matters

The independent technical validation from Bureau Veritas is a key requirement for project financing and provides important third-party confirmation of the robustness and scalability of HyOrc's waste-to-methanol platform. This technology offers a scalable and cost-competitive pathway to low-carbon fuel production, aligning with global decarbonization and waste diversion objectives.

The details

The verification program, conducted over multiple site visits, assessed the performance, stability, and operational characteristics of HyOrc's integrated RDF-to-methanol system. HyOrc's technology converts Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) into high-purity methanol through a process combining gasification, syngas conditioning, and catalytic synthesis.

  • The on-site process verification phase was completed on April 15, 2026.
  • HyOrc expects to receive formal certification from Bureau Veritas following the completion of final documentation.
