Decarbonization of Heavy Industry: Challenges for thyssenkrupp and BASF – CHAR Technologies as a Solution Provider
Heavy industry faces technological hurdles in the race to meet climate targets. The full implementation of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in January of this year is exacerbating the economic conditions. Decarbonizing the steel and chemical industries is proving complex, as these sectors require carbon not only as an energy source but also as an essential reducing agent and raw material. While European corporations like thyssenkrupp are focusing on hydrogen-based direct reduction plants, dependence on coke in existing blast furnaces persists. BASF is simultaneously advancing chemical recycling through pyrolysis oils, but faces scaling hurdles. This bottleneck brings the beginning of the recycling chain into focus: without the massive use of biochar as a substitute for metallurgical coal, the goals can hardly be achieved. CHAR Technologies is closing this supply gap with its high-temperature pyrolysis technology, has secured ArcelorMittal as an investor, and is positioning itself as a supplier to industry.

High energy prices are making industrial waste increasingly valuable: How Waste Management, CHAR Technologies, and Veolia Are Cashing In
Waste is not just waste - it is a valuable asset! For quite some time now, the volume of industrial and household waste has been rising sharply worldwide. The World Bank estimates that between 2014 and 2024 alone, the amount of municipal solid waste produced globally increased by approximately 15% to 20% and could nearly double again by 2050, reaching 3.8 billion tons. Accordingly, it is not only important to avoid waste but also to secure valuable raw materials. The best example is old smartphones, whose valuable raw materials - such as gold, platinum, cobalt, or silver - can be handed over to local recyclers and processed by specialists.

BioNTech a Takeover Target? What's Happening at CHAR Technologies and Steyr Motors?
A cleantech growth story with takeover potential is currently available for only around CAD 35 million. CHAR Technologies is benefiting from rising oil and gas prices thanks to its technology. If the stock fails to move higher, a strategic partner could step in. Is BioNTech a takeover candidate? Until last week, the answer would likely have been a clear no. But since the announcement that the founders are stepping down, almost anything seems possible. And there is another factor in its favor. To avoid being swallowed by a major defense contractor, Steyr Motors aims to grow aggressively - both organically and through acquisitions. Analysts believe the company could double its revenue and recommend buying the stock.

Hotter than hydrogen stocks Nel ASA and Plug Power: the discreet crisis winners CHAR Technologies, 2G Energy, and Verbio!
The politically driven energy transition was meant to change a lot, but while many are still discussing distant dreams, three companies are already creating tangible results today. This goes beyond environmental protection; it is about the radical conversion of waste into valuable energy and helping heavy industry avoid CO2 collapse. Among them, Canada's CHAR Technologies stands out, making the virtually impossible possible with a unique high-temperature technology and recently raising fresh capital for its next big leap. CHAR is not alone. In Germany, heavyweights such as 2G Energy and Verbio are proving that biogas and highly efficient combined heat and power are no longer niche topics, but can make stock market prices soar. These three stocks could form the backbone of a green portfolio in 2026, provided the overall market and political conditions are favorable. Here is why these three stocks, in particular, could boost your portfolio.

Solutions instead of energy crisis: The potential of CHAR Technologies, Linde, and DuPont
The German economy is under enormous pressure. After years of rising energy prices and an increasingly complicated supply of raw materials, the population and industry are gripped by fears of a creeping decline. Electricity prices for energy-intensive companies remain at a level that is significantly higher than in previous years. Industry experts have long warned of a permanent exodus of production capacities to cheaper regions such as the US, where electricity costs for industry last year were less than half those in the European Union. To ensure the survival of industry, new approaches are coming into focus. Solutions are needed that break the dependence on fossil fuel imports and make supply more flexible. Different approaches are being taken here: While Linde and DuPont prefer to partner with the big players, Canadian innovator CHAR Technologies is occupying the exciting niche of decentralized energy generation.

Iran and the oil dilemma – Alternatives on the rise! CHAR Technologies, Nordex, and Siemens Energy in focus
The geopolitical escalation in the Middle East has hit commodity markets with full force. At the beginning of the week, the price of oil surged above USD 115 per barrel as a result of the Iran crisis, but quickly fell back to around USD 105. Nevertheless, this remains a level that was last reached several years ago. The trigger has been major disruptions to supply chains around the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of global oil trade normally passes. Oil has thus once again become a symbol of a classic geopolitical shock: physical scarcity meets panic-driven hedging on the futures markets. For dynamic investors, alternatives are coming to the fore. What can replace oil in the long term, or at least partially substitute it? CHAR Technologies, Nordex, and Siemens Energy may provide compelling answers.

Iran war boosts cash flow! Ride the short-term boom with BP, and invest in the future with CHAR Technologies and First Solar
The shock of the Iran war is driving up oil prices and bringing BP huge profits in the short term. Nevertheless, the conflict ruthlessly exposes the Achilles heel of fossil fuel dependency. As geopolitical risks escalate, investors are desperately seeking crisis-proof alternatives. The future belongs to technologies that are unaffected by tensions in the Persian Gulf. Innovative processes have long been transforming wood waste into green energy sources, while solar giants are setting new efficiency records. Three companies show where the journey is headed: BP's short-term surge is only one side of the coin; CHAR Technologies and First Solar are now setting the course for sustainable returns.

DroneShield shares explode! Steyr Motors and CHAR Technologies benefit from acquisitions and optimism!
DroneShield's share price has skyrocketed. After a weekend with images of drones over Dubai, Qatar, and other major cities, investors rushed to buy DroneShield shares. The specialist in drone defense had already reported European orders last week, pushing the share up by 20%. Yesterday, the rally continued. DroneShield demonstrates that it is not always the market leaders who make the biggest gains. There are also compelling second-tier companies that can become outperformers. Steyr Motors catapulted itself onto investors' radar in the defense sector in 2025, and now the first acquisitions are being made to accelerate growth. CHAR Technologies could be among the outperformers in 2026. At a recent investor conference, the CEO provided solid reasons for significantly higher share prices. If the company succeeds in commercializing its technology, the stock currently appears undervalued.

Opportunities thanks to industrial transformation: The closed value chain of CHAR Technologies, PyroGenesis, and BASF
When it comes to the climate-neutral transformation of industry, the current phase marks the transition from strategic planning to operational implementation for many companies. According to recent publications by McKinsey and the International Energy Agency (IEA), about half of the required reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 depends on the provision of alternative heat sources for the production of basic industrial materials such as steel, cement, and chemicals. The regulatory framework in Europe and North America is defined by the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and stricter standards for the circular economy, which increases the financial pressure on CO2-intensive processes. In this environment, the thermal decomposition of organic materials in the absence of oxygen, known as pyrolysis, is becoming increasingly popular as a means of recovering energy from waste streams and utilizing them as carbon sinks. CHAR Technologies, PyroGenesis, and BASF play an important role in this context, ranging from decentralized waste recovery to specialized plant engineering and industrial applications.
