Decarbonizing for a circular economy
A clean-tech company focuses on converting biomass and organic waste into renewable gases such as biogas and hydrogen. By providing sustainable waste-to-energy solutions, the company supports the transition to cleaner energy sources while addressing waste management challenges and reducing environmental impacts.
TECHNOLOGY / INNOVATION
CHAR Tech’s high-temperature pyrolysis (HTP) process is a continuous autothermal process, where organic materials (biomass, biosolids, organic waste streams) are heated to over 800°C in a completely oxygen-free environment to create two high-value coproducts: biocarbon and renewable energy.
CURRENT STATUS
Industry leader in converting organic waste into renewable gases and biochar.
ORIGINS
Founded in 2011, developed technologies to produce hydrogen and biogas from biomass, helping industries reduce carbon footprints.
OWNERSHIP
Publicly traded. CHAR Technologies Ltd. Symbol YES on the Toronto (TSX Venture Exchange)
USP
By reducing facility footprints and diverting wood and organic residuals and wastes from landfills, we help organizations significantly improve their environmental footprint while simultaneously establishing the production of valuable, renewable resources.
CUSTOMERS
Industries seeking renewable energy alternatives and waste management solutions, like agriculture, energy, and manufacturing where it can replace metallurgical coal with a drop-in biocoal that provides a 91% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for heavy industries.
OF NOTE
CHAR is conducting pilot project in Baltimore to demonstrate pyrolysis can safely and effectively destroy PFAS in biosolids at scale. It validates technology for municipal use, positioning the company as a leader in sustainable waste management and PFAS remediation—opening doors to regulatory approvals, commercial contracts, and expansion across North America’s
