CDT Environmental Technology surged 64.32% in after-hours trading following its announcement of a strategic entry into the green hydrogen sector. The company unveiled a growth initiative to convert urban and rural organic waste into hydrogen, leveraging partnerships with the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The move includes a high-temperature gasification technology to produce syngas, which can be purified into green hydrogen or repurposed for industrial heat and power. The initiative aligns with China’s growing demand for waste treatment and hydrogen energy, citing annual organic waste volumes exceeding 3.9 billion tons and a hydrogen market valued at USD 40+ billion. The company’s "EPC engineering + long-term operation" model aims to diversify revenue through treatment fees and energy product sales, positioning CDT as a key player in sustainable waste-to-energy solutions.
