Firepoint Energy Appoints Ardour Capital as Financial Advisor to Support Capital Formation and Strategic Growth

“Engaging Ardour Capital positions us to pursue our funding
objectives and strengthen our financial foundation.””
— Jessica Vlaco CFO

SALTSBURG, PA, UNITED STATES, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Firepoint Energy Inc., a critical minerals recovery company based in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania, today announced that it has entered into a financial advisory agreement with Ardour Capital Investments, LLC, a New York–based investment bank with more than 25 years of experience advising companies in clean and renewable technologies.
Under the agreement, Ardour Capital will advise Firepoint Energy on capital formation and strategic
financial initiatives as the Company advances its waste coal repurposing platform. Firepoint Energy’s
proprietary process converts waste coal into critical minerals and sustainable aviation fuel using
zero emission plasma gasification technology rather than incineration.

“Ardour Capital’s longstanding focus on alternative energy and climate positive technologies aligns
closely with Firepoint Energy’s mission and near-term objectives,” said Bill Smith, Chief Executive
Officer of Firepoint Energy. “With our pilot site infrastructure nearing completion and our industry
partnership with Penn State University now formalized, we are entering a capital-intensive phase of
development. Ardour Capital’s expertise will be instrumental as we move forward.”

Firepoint Energy’s next phase of growth includes the manufacture of plasma gasifiers for waste coal
processing and the acquisition of additional sites with significant waste coal inventories that meet the
Company’s operational criteria.

“Our goal is to secure the financial resources necessary to commence operations in earnest while
retaining flexibility to scale rapidly as attractive opportunities arise,” said Jessica Vlaco, Chief
Financial Officer of Firepoint Energy. “Engaging Ardour Capital positions us to pursue our funding
objectives and strengthen our financial foundation.”

Firepoint Energy believes its technology can contribute to addressing the domestic shortfall of critical
minerals, which the U.S. Department of Defense has identified as a matter of national security.
