2022 strategy – focus on revenue growth, new syngas applications, ESG, promoting gasification technology and becoming a technology licensor
With EQTEC now firmly in the “deal growth” stage of its lifecycle, a key objective for 2022 will be further revenue growth, with the number of projects under construction and development increasing. The company will also test and develop more high-margin feedstock types and extend its technology into new syngas applications such as waste-to-hydrogen, waste-to-SNG and waste-to-biofuels. A range of ESG goals has been added to the three-year business strategy and annual business plans, with EQTEC looking to give clean, waste-to-syngas a greater profile, showcasing its technology as the market leader. Longer-term and taking lessons from digital technology companies, EQTEC is positioning itself to be a technology licensor, a trajectory it believes gives it potential to become a multi-billion revenue business.
