AnorTech Inc. (TSXV: ANOR; OTC: ANORF) announced a one-year research collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada to develop alumina-based catalysts for carbon dioxide capture using the company's sustainable alumina.

The project builds on testing conducted in 2025, when AnorTech supplied multiple grades of its sustainable alumina to the NRC for catalysts designed to capture CO2 and convert it to methane through hydrogenation. The alumina samples were derived from AnorTech's Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland and produced in SGS Canada Inc.'s Lakefield laboratory.

AnorTech is jointly funding the project and will supply all required alumina samples for the test work. Over the next 12 months, the NRC team will develop and optimize amine-functionalized alumina adsorbents for CO2 capture, focusing on maximizing adsorption capacity, selectivity, and long-term stability.

The research will include testing under varying temperatures, concentrations, humidity, and simulated flue gas conditions, as well as evaluating kinetics, regenerability, and cyclic performance to identify formulations suitable for large-scale carbon capture deployment.

"We are very excited to partner with Canada's research and innovation organization," said Jim Cambon, president of AnorTech. "This dynamic R&D project perfectly aligns with our mission to become the world's leading provider of sustainable anorthosite-based technologies."

AnorTech owns the Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland, located 80 kilometers northeast of Nuuk. The company is developing multiple product lines including smelter grade alumina, high purity alumina, CO2-free refractory cement, and lunar construction materials.

The company filed a U.S. provisional patent in 2025 for its sustainable alumina process and shipped 15 tonnes of Gronne Bjerg anorthosite to Ontario for pilot plant testing. AnorTech reports $1.6 million in working capital and expects to receive $1 million plus $750,000 in Greenland Mines shares upon completion of a license transfer.
