History[edit]
The origin of Birchtech Corp can be traced back to its founding by a group of individuals with expertise in emissions control technologies. Recognizing the growing need for environmental compliance and emissions reduction in the power generation and industrial sectors, the founders sought to develop and offer innovative solutions to address these challenges.[2] The company was originally named Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. and changed the name in October, 2024.[3]
Birchtech's core technology revolves around patented Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA) technologies, which enhance the efficiency of existing pollution control equipment, such as Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems, to reduce mercury emissions and other harmful pollutants.[4]
Over the years, Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. has grown to serving numerous power plants and industrial facilities across the United States and internationally. The company's solutions are designed to assist these facilities in meeting regulatory requirements and achieving emissions reduction targets in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.[2]
Lawsuits[edit]
As of February, 2025, Birchtech Corp. has agreements with two coal-fired power utility companies. One of these is a non-exclusive agreement with a coal-fired power utility named in its Arizona lawsuit. The terms of the agreement remain confidential due to ongoing litigation. With this resolution, all claims in the Arizona case are settled, while litigation in Iowa and Missouri continues, now consolidated in the Southern District of Iowa.[5]
