Delta CleanTech’s Big Solution to China’s Huge Carbon Problem
Sometime in the coming decades, Earth will be free of man-made CO2 emissions. While the timing is uncertain, it appears to be a certainty.
Governments worldwide are more committed than ever to changing the ways their countries generate energy and handle industrial pollution.
The latest example of humanity’s collective desire to combat the acceleration of climate change was the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland. Also known by the moniker COP26, the meeting was the most significant step forward since a similar conference in 2015, the so-called Paris Agreement.
At the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), global leaders agreed on several new strategies to combat climate carbon emissions, including:
- Phasing down the use of coal, which accounts for 40% of global carbon emissions, as an energy source.
- Reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
- The two largest economies, the United States and China, will cooperate on promoting clean energy in their countries.
While the future of clean energy will be fossil fuel-free, the current system is heavily dependent on high-emission fuel sources like coal and natural gas. As the world makes the inevitable transition, there is an urgent need to slow emissions from existing energy production.
China’s Emission Problem
In addition to being one of the largest economies on Earth, China is also one of the biggest polluters. Coal makes up a disproportionate share of its energy production, and the country resisted efforts to outright end coal use worldwide. Nevertheless, they committed to ramping up clean energy and curbing their CO2 output, so significant steps are expected to be taken.
The country is currently producing 9.8 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Based on their current plans and projections, experts expect them to reduce this to 2.4 gigatonnes by 2050. The country will need to reduce carbon output from its existing energy infrastructure to accomplish this ambitious goal.
The easiest and most cost-effective means of doing this is to retrofit legacy infrastructure with waste capture technology. Capturing CO2 and other emissions at the point of production has shown to be a very effective way of reducing environmental damage. It is also what Delta CleanTech (CSE: DELT) (OTC: DCTIF) (FRA: 66C) does best.

Introducing Delta CleanTech
Based in Alberta, Canada, Delta CleanTech has been in the waste capture industry for nearly two decades. The company has a patented emissions capture system, dubbed the LCDesign, that has been proven to reduce emissions while also providing a new source of revenue: the sale of purified CO2.
Delta has set up sales offices globally, including in China, the U.S., and the Middle East, in anticipation of the coming drive to retrofit existing facilities. Now that countries are actively making investments in their legacy infrastructure, this early investment should begin to pay off.
As demand ramps up for their CO2 capture tech, Delta should see additional demand for the other side of their business: Delta Purification. Delta Purification is focused on capturing and purifying industrial solvents and glycols. These are among the most common industrial wastes and are usually disposed of in underground disposal wells, which are notoriously damaging to the environment.
Delta’s technology allows its users to capture this waste and recycle it for future use. This is hugely beneficial for companies, as it saves them disposal fees and will enable them to purchase fewer products from wholesalers. Delta estimates that its technology can save customers up to 25% on material costs. With China starting to clean up its act, there should be another potentially large market for Delta Purification to address.

CleanTech Investment Opportunity
While the clean energy field has many high-quality companies and investment opportunities, Delta CleanTech may be the only publicly traded company whose primary business plan is carbon capture. While other so-called “carbon capture” companies are marketing products that do indeed capture carbon, they are new energy production products, not retrofits for existing facilities. This leaves Delta as perhaps the only publicly available investment for carbon capture retrofits.
Also setting Delta apart is its advantageous share structure, which as of its latest filings in September, shows the company with only 58 million shares outstanding. Coupled with a tiny market cap of CAD$27 million and an exploding addressable market, the relatively few shares outstanding could experience outsized growth.
Conclusion
The world is beginning to address the pollution caused by the energy and industrial sectors. One of the biggest polluters globally, China has finally indicated a willingness to address its environmental impact. The sheer size and potential value of a new Chinese market could provide Delta CleanTech with an enormous opportunity to showcase its industry-leading CO2 capture system and further solidify the company as a leading name in the push for a clean energy future.
Shares of Delta CleanTech (CSE: DELT) last traded at $0.46.
