HyOrc Corporation Provides Update on Waste-To-Methanol Platform Following Technology Validation HyOrc Corporation shared an update on the commercial positioning of its waste-to-methanol platform following the Company’s recently announced independent validation by Bureau Veritas. Based on validated process performance and internal engineering analysis, HyOrc estimates a preliminary levelized cost of methanol production of approximately EUR 350–EUR 370 per tonne under assumed Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) feedstock conditions. The Company’s model incorporates a negative-cost feedstock structure, in which municipal waste streams generate tipping fee revenues that support overall project economics. Published regional contract methanol pricing, including European benchmarks reported by Methanex, has recently reflected levels materially above the Company’s estimated production cost range under prevailing market conditions. While methanol pricing remains cyclical and influenced by underlying energy markets, HyOrc believes its cost profile positions the platform to compete effectively within conventional markets, with additional potential upside from premium pricing associated with certified low-carbon fuels, particularly under long-term, contract-based supply arrangements. The Company is currently advancing its initial commercial projects, including a 35 TPD RDF to 8 TPD methanol facility in Porto, Portugal and a 150 TPD RDF to 38 TPD methanol project in Varna, Bulgaria, with both projects supported by land access, permitting frameworks, environmental approvals, and local partnerships. The cost estimates presented are preliminary and remain subject to final engineering, financing, and operating assumptions, including feedstock composition, plant configuration, and scale. HyOrc continues to advance project development, financing discussions, and commercial arrangements to underpin its planned deployment activities. Announcement • Apr 16
HyOrc Completes Independent Process and Technology Verification for Waste-to-Methanol Platform HyOrc Corporation announced the successful completion of the on-site process verification phase with Bureau Veritas for its waste-to-methanol synthesis technology. The verification program, conducted over multiple site visits, assessed the performance, stability, and operational characteristics of HyOrc’s integrated RDF-to-methanol system. The Company expects to receive formal certification from Bureau Veritas following completion of final documentation. This milestone represents a critical step toward 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. HyOrc’s technology converts Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) into high-purity methanol through a process combining gasification, syngas conditioning, and catalytic synthesis. The Company believes this approach provides a scalable and cost-competitive pathway to low-carbon fuel production aligned with global decarbonization and waste diversion objectives.

HyOrc Corporation Reports 99.8% Methanol Purity And Completes 60-Day Continuous Run HyOrc Corporation reported sustained high-performance results from its RDF-to-methanol test system in Tamil Nadu, including a 60-day continuous benchmark run, 99.8% methanol purity, and new patent-pending process improvements, as the Company advances toward commercial deployment. The Company confirmed stable operation of its methanol system over the full test period with no major interruptions, demonstrating continuous processing capability under real-world conditions. Methanol produced achieved 99.8% purity, 0.2% water content, and a net heating value of 1895 MMBtu per ton, meeting industrial fuel standards. These results validate HyOrc’s integrated waste-to-fuel platform, converting RDF into high-quality methanol with consistent output and controlled impurity levels. During testing, HyOrc identified two patent-pending advancements targeting: Gasification stability and temperature uniformity, improving syngas consistency; Reactor temperature control and heat management, enhancing conversion efficiency. Together, these improvements are expected to increase system reliability, yield, and scalability. HyOrc has manufactured a 35 ton-per-day RDF gasification unit, currently undergoing certification for integration into its planned 8 ton-per-day methanol facility in Porto, Portugal. Its 300-liter-per-day synthesis system has been used for validation and optimization, with the Porto plant incorporating a scaled commercial design based on these results.
