New License Agreement Resolves Case Against Coal-Fired Utility, Dismisses Defendant from Litigation
CORSICANA, Texas, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Birchtech Corp. (TSX: BCHT) (OTCQB: BCHT) (“Birchtech” or the “Company”), a leader in specialty activated carbon technologies for sustainable air and water treatment, today announced a non-exclusive agreement with a large regional coal-fired power utility that the Company filed suit against in January 2025 regarding the Company’s patented mercury emissions reduction technologies. The suit against this utility had been consolidated with the other cases that were originally filed in 2024 for pre-trial matters in Iowa.
The license agreement with the regional utility includes a one-time license fee. Due to confidentiality agreements and ongoing litigation, other specific terms of the agreement cannot be publicly disclosed.
As a result of the agreement, Birchtech has dismissed all claims against this particular utility in the consolidated lawsuits currently pending in Iowa. Claims will continue against the remaining defendants in the consolidated Iowa actions.
Richard MacPherson, Birchtech CEO, commented: “Offering defendants licensing agreements continues to yield positive results following our success in the last year’s jury trial, providing a meaningful source of cash to drive forward new technologies in water treatment, underpinning significant new growth initiatives. This ‘business-first’ approach includes a negotiated license fee based on our calculation of the utility’s existing and prior usage of our patented SEA technology. Licensees of our innovative patented technologies can opt to realize lower mercury emissions and gain additional operational improvements and efficiencies through potential future direct supply.
“To date, with the license agreements announced this month, we have established business relationships with five utilities from the consolidated lawsuits currently pending in Iowa. Since 2019, we have successfully reached 13 license and/or supply agreements with coal-fired utilities, including nine utilities previously named as defendants in the 2019 and 2024/2025 lawsuit filings. Claims continue against remaining defendants in the Iowa consolidated actions as we await the final ruling from the March 2024 jury trial in the Delaware District Court,” concluded MacPherson.
