The company works together with multiple partners involved in projects, including developers, waste owners, EPC contractors and financiers, with a view to ultimately providing its advanced gasification technology and associated engineering and design services.

• Focussed on three key verticals

  Last year, EQTEC set out a strategy to focus its efforts on the following three verticals of the waste-to-energy sector: Recovery of Clean Energy from Biomass; Elimination of Waste Streams in Agri-food and Industrial Sectors; and Elimination of Waste Streams – Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).

• Rapid increase in project pipeline

  Over the past year or so EQTEC has announced a number of developments and contract wins across its three key verticals. These include; the financial close of the North Fork biomass project in California; an agreement for the development of a proposed 1.18 MW net biomass gasification power plant project in Gratens, France; and an MoU for the engineering design and installation of the first advanced gasification plant in Greece.

• Peer based valuation suggests upside of more than 400%

  EQTEC now has a substantial pipeline of projects which should begin and be completed over the coming two/three years. Using a peer derived EV/EBITDA multiple we set a target price of 0.78p per share, implying 403% upside from the current price.
