Summary · why it matters
HyOrc Corporation announced a revised joint venture structure with its Portuguese partner MO.RE.DA. Oils, Lda., limiting HyOrc's funding obligation to the initial commercial module, which is already fully funded, while the JV will finance subsequent expansion phases. This follows approval of €6.7 million in non-dilutive funding under the EU's STEP platform for the next phase, designed to process 35 tonnes per day of refuse-derived fuel into eight tonnes per day of green methanol. CEO Reginald Fubara said the restructuring reduces capital requirements without shareholder dilution. The initial one-tonne-per-day module is undergoing final preparation, with factory testing targeted by end of September 2026 before shipment to Porto, marking the first commercial deployment of HyOrc's RDF-to-green-methanol technology.
