CDT Environmental shares surge 49.37% after-hours after announcing green hydrogen strategy with Guangzhou Institute collaboration.

CDT Environmental Technology (CDTG) surged 49.37% in after-hours trading following the announcement of a strategic initiative to enter the green hydrogen sector by converting urban and rural organic waste into hydrogen. The company detailed collaborations with the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and highlighted a $40 billion market opportunity in China’s hydrogen energy industry. Key factors included the adoption of an "EPC engineering + long-term operation" model to diversify revenue streams through hydrogen production, steam supply, and power generation, as well as participation in drafting industry standards. The move positions CDT to leverage China’s vast organic waste volumes (3.9 billion tons of crop straw and manure annually) and aligns with government-driven sustainability goals. The announcement underscored technical credibility through R&D partnerships and regulatory engagement, fueling investor optimism about long-term value creation.
