Company Description
CHAR Technologies Ltd. (CTRNF) is a Canadian clean-technology company that develops high-temperature pyrolysis systems for sustainable biomass energy and low-carbon solid products. The company's HTP systems are designed to process unmerchantable wood and organic waste into renewable energy streams, including renewable natural gas or green hydrogen, and into biocarbon, a solid product positioned as a carbon-neutral drop-in replacement for metallurgical coal in industrial applications.
The business centers on converting low-value organic feedstocks into products for energy and industrial-material markets. CHAR Tech's high-temperature thermal process can produce gas streams associated with renewable natural gas or hydrogen pathways while also producing biochar or biocarbon. The company also describes a related application for the destruction of PFAS in wastewater biosolids, using operating temperatures intended to break down long-chain fluorinated compounds while converting biosolids into energy and low-carbon solid products.
Assets, projects and commercial focus
CHAR Tech's project and asset base includes the Thorold Renewable Energy Facility and project references including Saint-Félicien and Lake Nipigon. The Thorold project is associated with biocarbon production and the company's broader HTP platform. In 2026, CHAR Tech closed the acquisition of Elkem ASA's biocarbon assets in Saguenay, Québec, including a biocarbon pellet production facility, proprietary intellectual property and related liabilities. The transaction also included a biocarbon offtake agreement with Elkem for 62,500 tonnes over five years.
The company's commercial model combines technology deployment, project development and supply agreements for renewable energy and biocarbon products. Its assets and partnerships are directed toward biomass conversion, industrial decarbonization, renewable gas production and replacement materials for carbon-intensive industrial inputs. Company announcements identify CHAR Tech securities with TSXV:YES, OTC:CTRNF and FSE:68K.
