Fearnley Securities: QFUEL announced this morning that repairment of the burner chambers of the two first lines have been completed and tested for production. Both lines have converted plastic waste at a high load after repair completion, and the plant is gradually returning to production.
The timing is in line with QFUEL’s target (announced early February) to resume production in the two lines by mid-March. Going forward, focus remains on increasing uptime and capacity in the production lines to reach Proof-of-Concept.

When the market believed that Proof of Concept is eminent, the stock was trading close to 80 NOK. Based on all the conversations we had we believe that the proof of concept is at max weeks away. There is plenty of upside.
