EXHIBIT 99.1

Birchtech Provides Fiscal 2025 Revenue Guidance

Management Expects Revenues of at Least $23 Million in 2025, Excluding Potential Cash Received from IP Defense as well as Water Treatment Revenues

Air Business Run Rate Expected to Surpass $40 Million in 2026

CORSICANA, Texas – March 4, 2025 – Birchtech Corp. (TSX: BCHT) (OTCQB: BCHT) ("Birchtech" or the "Company"), a leader in specialty activated carbon technologies for sustainable air and water treatment, today provided preliminary revenue guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, Birchtech expects revenues of at least $23 million, excluding any potential cash from legal claims in defense of the Company's intellectual property, as well as potential revenues from the Company's emerging water treatment business. This represents growth of at least 31%, as compared to fiscal 2024 preliminary unaudited revenues of at least $17.5 million.

"This preliminary estimate is based on the accelerating pace of revenue for our core air business line driven by our mercury emissions capture technologies," said Richard MacPherson, CEO of Birchtech Corp. "Our market share across the coal-fired utility sector continues to increase at an impressive rate due to our patent defense and business first approach. We believe this air business will conservatively generate at least $23 million in revenue in 2025, excluding cash received from legal claims in defense of our intellectual property, or potential revenues from our highly prospective water treatment business.

"We are now experiencing strong momentum from our current air customers under contract, with multiple opportunities to scale. We are also leveraging our settlements to create new long-term customers and expect to see additional license agreements from discussions with current defendants that are now underway. Supported by these tailwinds, our air business alone is expected to achieve a run-rate of at least $40 million by the end of 2026.

"Taken together, we are on a robust growth trajectory with our air business, further supported by significant incremental potential from the water business in 2025 and beyond. We look forward to delivering upon these milestones in the quarters to come as we seek to drive sustainable, long-term value for my fellow shareholders," concluded MacPherson.
