Dear Haikala,

Regarding your first question, this can definitely be an interesting market for the plasma torches. As you know, we see many applications of the torch for industrial heating, not only for the iron a steel industry, but for other sectors as well.

As for your second question, we do not see any advantage to feed biofuel or biooil into a plasma torch. This would only increase carbon emissions from the torch.  Biofuels do not contain fossil carbon but they do contain carbon. When they are combusted or fed to a torch, this carbon is eventually released into the atmosphere. In a plasma torch, we use only compressed gases such as compressed air, nitrogen or argon as the plasma forming gas. Heating them with a plasma arc in the torch releases no carbon at all.

Hope it helps.
