Waste-to-credits IPO – Yesil Global Enerji, which operates projects generating roughly 2 mln tonnes of verified carbon credits annually, filed for a Nasdaq listing on Monday, seeking to fund expansion in North America. The Turkish waste-to-energy company operates six landfill gas-to-energy plants in Istanbul and Kocaeli with 125 MW of installed capacity, and monetises credits under Gold Standard and Verra programmes. A thermal waste-to-energy facility at Solaklar, designed to process up to 2,000 tonnes per day, is expected to begin operations in 2026 and will add 41 MW of capacity. The company plans to use IPO proceeds to expand US oil and gas operations integrated with data-centre power infrastructure, alongside research and development and working capital.
