About Char Technologies Ltd.

Char Technologies is a Canadian clean technology company developing first-in-kind high-temperature pyrolysis (HTP) systems that process unmerchantable wood and organic waste to generate two renewable energy revenue streams, renewable natural gas or green hydrogen, and a solid biocarbon that serves as a carbon-neutral, drop-in replacement for metallurgical coal.

Char Technologies' HTP platform is also advancing a new vertical focused on the permanent destruction of PFAS in waste water biosolids. Operating at temperatures sufficient to break down long-chain fluorinated compounds, the system enables municipalities and industrial operators to eliminate PFAS while converting biosolids into energy and low-carbon solid products.
