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.

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.

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.

A green industrial giant in the making! Why CHAR Technologies could play a key role in climate-neutral industry - and what ArcelorMittal has to do with it!
Industrial waste should no longer be a burden on our planet, because pure, green energy can now flow from organic residues. We are at this very turning point today. Canadian cleantech company CHAR Technologies has found a way to push the boundaries of physics a little. With its groundbreaking technology, the company is turning what we throw away into the gold of the future. It is about much more than just recycling. It is about an industrial revolution that is taking place right in front of our eyes. We show you how CHAR, as one of the most exciting players in the cleantech sector, could conquer the European market with a strong partner. The projects, vision, and enormous potential of this stock are enormous.

International Expansion as a Catalyst? RENK, CHAR Technologies, and SFC Energy enter new markets
CHAR Technologies is likely to achieve a breakthrough this year, both operationally and on the stock market. The company is now bringing its HTP technology for the production of biogas and biochar to Europe. Licensing reduces risks and conserves capital. The first industrial plant has already gone into operation in Canada. Its expansion is being planned, as are further plants in North America. RENK is also gaining momentum in the US. Analysts recently speculated that US business could surprise on the upside from 2028 onwards. New orders are already confirming this. And what about SFC Energy? Following the forecast adjustment last summer, the share is looking for new momentum. This may come from internationalization. However, analysts are not yet convinced.

Energy transition 2.0: Why CHAR Technologies is thinking much further ahead than Enviva and why Plug Power is still dreaming
The global energy market has learned its lesson - electrons alone cannot save heavy industry. While wind turbines and solar parks are making power grids greener, steelmakers and gas suppliers face a physical dilemma: they need carbon molecules – just "green" ones. In this gigantic market for sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, former biomass giant Enviva has already proven that wood is a suitable energy source. But while Enviva has only burned pellets, CHAR Technologies is igniting the next stage of evolution. With their high-temperature pyrolysis (HTP) process, the Canadians are transforming simple biomass not only into heat, but into two high-value industrial products: biochar for the steel industry and renewable natural gas (RNG) for the grid. CHAR is thus delivering exactly the solution that visionaries like Plug Power are striving for with hydrogen, but can often only achieve with billions in investment in new infrastructure. CHAR Technologies uses the existing gas grid and earns money from day one.

Yesterday +10%! Top news drives shares of Evotec, Novo Nordisk, and CHAR Technologies!
Evotec shares jumped, climbing more than 10% as analysts pushed the stock higher. Does this signal that the turnaround is finally happening, or does Deutsche Bank still have the final say? Strong news also for CHAR Technologies: the Canadian company is launching commercialization of its unique technology for producing biochar and renewable natural gas substitutes from biogenic waste materials. For the expansion, it has secured strong partners, including steel giant ArcelorMittal and the Canadian BMI Group. And what is Novo Nordisk doing? The Danish company presented positive study results for its successor to Wegovy. However, analysts are not exactly thrilled.
