Vancouver, BC, Canada, September 12, 2024 – TheNewswire – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL, OTC: FSTTF), reports that, due to growing interest in the PyroDelta Energy thermoelectric device, Michael Abdelmaseh, PyroDelta’s Director of Engineering, has been invited to speak at SAE International’s Battery & Electrification Summit October 22-23, 2024. The event offers expert advice, insight, problem-solving ideas and emerging applications for engineers and their teams. The session will focus on evolving battery advancements and requirements for aerospace/defense and automotive/commercial vehicle applications. SAE is a global association of more than 128,000 engineers and related technical experts in the aerospace, automotive and commercial vehicle industries. US-based PyroDelta is a majority-owned subsidiary of First Tellurium.

“SAE invited PyroDelta to present because of the device’s potential to improve the efficiency of both electric and combustion engine vehicles,” said Abdelmaseh. “This is a fantastic opportunity to present our technology to a broad group of knowledgeable engineers. These are people working to solve critical issues in the automotive industry as the world transitions from combustion to electrical power. We see this as important validation for moving forward with development of the device.”

First Tellurium President and CEO Tyrone Docherty noted that interest in the device from the automotive industry continues to grow. “It’s important to note that SAE reached out to us,” said Docherty. “The US is pushing hard to gain a competitive edge in EV technology and reduce greenhouse gases, and the SAE summit is seen as an important gathering to learn about innovation and new technology to further both mandates.”

Docherty also noted that both First Tellurium and PyroDelta continue to receive inquiries about the thermoelectric device from other industries. “While we want to promote the device’s growing list of potential applications, at this point we are concerned about reverse engineering. With the SAE, and with the National Science Foundation grant application (announced July 10), we are comfortable about protecting our intellectual property.”
