Birchtech Supports EPA’s Two-Year Exemption for Coal Plants

Story Highlights

Birchtech ( (BCHT) ) has provided an update.

Birchtech Corp. has expressed strong support for the recent decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and President Donald J. Trump to grant a two-year exemption for certain coal-fired power plants from the updated Mercury Air Toxics Standards (MATS) under the Biden Administration’s Clean Power Plan 2.0. This exemption aims to ensure national energy security and the continued operation of critical power facilities through 2029. The decision allows 47 major coal plants to continue operating under the original 2011 MATS regulation, which is recognized as one of the strictest environmental standards globally. Birchtech’s CEO, Richard MacPherson, highlighted the company’s role in supporting clean coal technologies and the benefits this decision brings to their core air quality business, which serves a significant portion of the U.S. coal-fired fleet.

Spark’s Take on BCHT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BCHT is a Neutral.

Birchtech faces substantial financial challenges, including negative equity and volatile revenue, despite some cash flow improvements. Technical indicators are bearish, and the stock’s valuation lacks appeal with no dividend and negative earnings. The market’s neutral response to the latest earnings call provides little additional insight. Overall, the stock score reflects these mixed factors, with significant concerns overshadowing the positives.
