HyOrc (HYOR) Enters North American Rail with Hydrogen-Ready Engine MOU; Green Methanol Project Advances Toward Financed Offtake, Signaling Clear Path to Revenue
HOUSTON, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HyOrc Corporation (OTC: HYOR), a clean-energy technology company developing multi-fuel engines and waste-to-methanol systems, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Zeltech (Zero Emissions Locomotive Technologies) to jointly develop and deploy HyOrc’s hydrogen-ready gas-engine locomotives in the United States. This dual focus on two high-growth, high-margin markets strengthens HyOrc’s positioning as it advances toward its OTCQB uplisting and ongoing SEC reporting process, offering investors exposure to scalable clean-energy growth.
The collaboration will focus initially on a California-based pilot project, where the partners plan to engage with the California Energy Commission (CEC) and other agencies for grant support. The program aims to demonstrate HyOrc’s patented external-combustion powertrain, a zero-emission, multi-fuel system that can operate on hydrogen, natural gas, or renewable fuels — offering freight operators a cost-effective path to decarbonization.
This partnership targets the U.S. freight rail market, which is valued at an estimated $71.8 billion (2025). The sector is under increasing regulatory and competitive pressure to transition its fleet, creating a significant, mandated growth opportunity for zero-emission powertrain retrofits.
Andrea Magalini, President of HyOrc, said:
This partnership marks HyOrc’s entry into the North American rail market,
“Zeltech’s rail expertise and our proven powertrain technology create a strong foundation for clean, scalable freight transport.”
In parallel, HyOrc is advancing its green methanol project in Portugal, based on its proprietary waste-to-methanol technology that converts municipal solid waste into clean fuel. The Portugal facility is expected to include an offtake agreement with a rated international buyer, which is the final step required to enable project financing and deliver long-term, guaranteed revenue visibility. As global shipping transitions to methanol to meet IMO 2030 targets, HyOrc’s projects position the company to serve one of the world’s fastest-growing clean-fuel markets.
Unlike technologies reliant on subsidies, HyOrc’s projects are underpinned by guaranteed demand and contract-based revenues — including methanol sales through long-term offtakes and locomotive retrofits financed directly by freight operators.
Magalini, added:
Our technology is validated, audit complete, and SEC reporting transition underway,
“HyOrc is now focused on disciplined execution and value creation through real, revenue-generating assets.”
