DALLAS, TX — Stonegate Capital Partners has initiated coverage on HyOrc Corporation (OTCQB: HYOR), a company focused on converting refuse-derived fuel (RDF) into green methanol. The coverage highlights HyOrc's potential to disrupt the methanol market with a lower-cost, environmentally friendly alternative, but emphasizes the need for proof of commercial-scale operations.
HyOrc's process converts prepared municipal and industrial waste into synthesis gas, which is then cleaned and conditioned before being transformed into methanol via catalytic synthesis. The company targets a green methanol production cost of approximately €350 per tonne, significantly below the conventional grey methanol benchmark of about €850 per tonne. However, as Stonegate notes, the core equity story hinges on whether HyOrc can transition from pilot and equipment-delivery history to continuous commercial operation.
A key near-term milestone is the planned shipment of HyOrc's fully funded initial 1 tonne per day (TPD) Porto methanol module in September 2026. This module represents the first step toward an 8 TPD facility in Portugal, which Stonegate views as the clearest near-term commercial validation once installed and operational. The success of these projects could demonstrate the economic viability of HyOrc's technology at scale.
Beyond methanol, HyOrc is developing external-combustion power systems for stationary power generation and locomotive retrofits. The company has delivered two 500 kW turbine units and signed a memorandum of understanding with GB Railfreight, providing early reference points. However, both opportunities remain ahead of full commercial deployment, according to Stonegate.

The initiation of coverage by Stonegate underscores growing investor interest in clean-tech companies that can deliver cost-competitive alternatives to traditional fuels. If HyOrc successfully executes its commercial plans, it could offer a scalable solution for waste-to-energy conversion, potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. The company's ability to meet its September 2026 shipping target and subsequent operational milestones will be critical for validating its technology and business model.
