Birchtech Corp. (NASDAQ: BCHT), formerly known as Midwest Energy Emissions Corp., is a U.S.-based environmental technology company focused on emissions control and environmental compliance solutions for power generation and industrial customers. The company primarily operates in the air pollution control industry, supplying technologies and chemical solutions designed to reduce mercury and other hazardous emissions from coal-fired utility boilers and industrial combustion systems.
