Notes to Editors
About EQTEC plc
EQTEC's business model will involve sourcing and providing
assistance in developing waste elimination projects to which it
will ultimately sell its Eqtec Gasifier Technology ("EGT") and
O&M services. EGT enables project developers to construct waste
elimination plants converting the waste into electrical and thermal
energy. The high energy efficiency also provides project developers
with a competitive advantage allowing them to quote more
competitive gate fees for the waste supply.
EQTEC will source projects that have a local supply of waste in
need of conversion. It will build relationships and bring together
the developers, the waste owners, the building contractors and
funders and provide the technology and engineering services to the
projects. Furthermore, the Enlarged Group will provide O&M
services to the operating projects generating recurring revenues
over the life of the projects.
The Company is quoted on AIM and trades as EQT. Further
information on the Company can be found at www.eqtecplc.com.
