Finch Paper Closure Creates Growth Opportunity for CETY in Northeast Biomass

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The closure creates a regional market gap for low-value biomass; if VRG advances and policy supports biomass, CETY could monetize HTAP tech sooner, potentially lifting valuation.

AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Finch Paper's pulp-mill shutdown in Glens Falls underscores the need for alternative outlets for low-grade wood in the Northeast. Kam Mahdi says this gap could expand renewable biomass use and boost CETY's VRG project in Vermont, which aims to convert residues into electricity, heat, and biochar using HTAP. Near-term traction depends on VRG's development progress and policy support.
