Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended
--- | ---
Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fuel Tech and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). The books and records of subsidiaries located in foreign countries are maintained according to generally accepted accounting principles in those countries. Upon consolidation, the Company evaluates the differences in accounting principles and determines whether adjustments are necessary to convert the foreign financial statements to the accounting principles upon which the consolidated financial statements are based. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
COVID-19 Pandemic [Policy Text Block] | COVID-19 Pandemic The effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic have presented significant risks to the Company, not all of which the Company is able to fully evaluate or even foresee at the current time. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the Company's operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Although the impact of the pandemic is difficult to quantify, the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, reductions in demand for certain of products, due to soft electric demand and unplanned outage activities, and due to the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to our customers', suppliers' and other third parties' financial distress or concern regarding the volatility of global markets. Management cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's sales and marketing channels and supply chains, and, as a result, the ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments. Such effects could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic comes to an end.
Private Placement Offering [Policy Text Block] | Private Placement Offering On February 11, 2021, Fuel Tech entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), (i) 5,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, (ii) and 2,500,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) with an exercise price of $5.10 per Warrant Share, at a purchase price of $5.1625 per Share and associated warrant. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were $25,812, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of $1,783. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire on the five and one-half year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement registering the Warrant Shares for resale. In addition, the Company issued to the placement agent Warrants to purchase up to 350,000 shares of common stock. The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $6.45 per share of common stock and expire on the five and one-half year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement registering the Shares and Warrant Shares for resale. The receipt of these funds strengthen our current cash position and in conjunction with our net cash flows expected to be generated from operations are adequate to fund planned operations of the Company for the next 12 months.
Liquidity, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Liquidity We have experienced declines in revenues and net losses in recent years. We continue to monitor our liquidity needs and have taken measures to reduce expenses and restructure operations, which we feel are necessary to ensure we maintain sufficient working capital and liquidity to operate the business and invest in our future. As a result, we have evaluated our ongoing business needs, and considered the cash requirements of our APC and FUEL CHEM businesses. This evaluation included consideration of the following: a) customer and revenue trends in our APC and FUEL CHEM business segments, b) current operating structure and expenditure levels, c) current availability of working capital, and d) support for our research and development initiatives. We believe our current cash position and net cash flows expected to be generated from operations are adequate to fund planned operations of the Company for the next 12 months.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax provisions, excess and obsolete inventory reserve, impairment of long-lived assets, and warranty expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term borrowings are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short-term nature or interest rates. We apply authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis and clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| • | Level 1 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
| • | Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means
| • | Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own estimates and assumptions or those expected to be used by market participants. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, option pricing models, and other commonly used valuation techniques
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized based on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. We had no assets or liabilities that were valued using level 2 or level 3 inputs and therefore there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash We include cash and investments having an original maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. We have never incurred realized or unrealized holdings gains or losses on securities classified as cash equivalents. Income resulting from short-term investments is recorded as interest income. At December 31, 2021, we had cash on hand of approximately $886 at our Beijing, China subsidiary that is subject to certain local regulations that may limit the immediate availability of these funds outside of China. Cash on hand at our Italy subsidiary totaled approximately $1,391 at December 31, 2021. Cash on hand at our Chilean subsidiary totaled approximately $244 at December 31, 2021. Restricted cash represents funds that are restricted to satisfy any amount borrowed against the Company's Cash Collateral Security agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. At December 31, 2021 the balance of restricted cash totaling $1,161 is comprised of $891 in current assets relating to existing standby letters of credit with varying maturity dates and expire no later than December 31, 2022 and $270 in long-term assets will remain through the expiration dates of the underlying standby letters of credit (the latest maturity date is February 1, 2023) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. Refer to Note 11 Debt Financing for further information on the Cash Collateral Security agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
|  | December 31, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 35,893 |  |  | $ | 10,640 |
Restricted cash included in current assets |  |  | 891 |  |  |  | 1,595 |
Restricted cash included in long-term assets |  |  | 270 |  |  |  | 371 |
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows |  | $ | 37,054 |  |  | $ | 12,606 |
Foreign Currency Risk Management [Policy Text Block] | Foreign Currency Risk Management Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts or into foreign currency option contracts to manage this risk due to the nature of the transactions involved.
Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to us in the normal course of our business, are not collateralized, and normally do not bear interest. Accounts receivable includes contract assets, billings occurring subsequent to revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, unbilled receivables were approximately $1,277 and $2,348, respectively. Refer to Note 2 for further detail.
Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is our management's best estimate of the amount of credit losses in accounts receivable. In order to control and monitor the credit risk associated with our customer base, we review the credit worthiness of customers on a recurring basis. Factors influencing the level of scrutiny include the level of business the customer has with Fuel Tech, the customer’s payment history, and the customer’s financial stability. Receivables are considered past due if payment is not received by the date agreed upon with the customer, which is normally 30 days. Representatives of our management team review all past due accounts on a weekly basis to assess collectability. At the end of each reporting period, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is reviewed relative to management’s collectability assessment and is adjusted if deemed necessary through a corresponding charge or credit to bad debts expense, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Bad debt write-offs are made when management believes it is probable a receivable will not be recovered. The table below sets forth the components of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the years ended December 31.
Year |  | Balance at January 1 |  |  | Provision charged to expense |  |  | Write-offs / Recoveries |  |  | Balance at December 31 |
2020 |  | $ | 1,816 |  |  | $ | (498 | ) |  | $ | (483 | ) |  | $ | 835 |
2021 |  | $ | 835 |  |  | $ | 227 |  |  | $ | (839 | ) |  | $ | 223 |
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets [Policy Text Block] | Prepaid expenses and other current assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets include Chinese banker acceptances of $55 and $549 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These are short-term commitments of typically three to six months for future payments and can be redeemed at a discount or applied to future vendor payments.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventories Inventories consist primarily of equipment constructed for resale and spare parts and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the weighted-average cost method. At December 31, 2021, inventory included equipment constructed for resale of $227 and spare parts, net of reserves of $121. Usage is recorded in cost of sales in the period that parts were issued to a project or used to service equipment. Inventories are periodically evaluated to identify obsolete or otherwise impaired parts and are written off when management determines usage is not probable. The Company estimates the balance of excess and obsolete inventory by analyzing inventory by age using last used and original purchase date and existing sales pipeline for which the inventory could be used. The table below sets forth the components of the Excess and Obsolete Inventory Reserve for the years ended December 31.
Year |  | Balance at January 1 |  |  | Provision charged to expense |  |  | Write-offs / Recoveries |  |  | Balance at December 31 |
2020 |  | $ | 1,000 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (93 | ) |  | $ | 907 |
2021 |  | $ | 907 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 20 |  |  | $ | 927 |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at year end. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions and the related tax effects are reflected in net income. The resulting translation adjustments are included in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

(1) | In all periods presented, there were no tax impacts related to rate changes.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development projects funded by customer contracts are reported as part of cost of goods sold. Internally funded research and development expenses are reported as operating expenses. The DGI™ equipment developed and constructed as part of our water treatment technologies is reported in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Product/System Warranty We typically warrant our air pollution control products and systems against defects in design, materials and workmanship for one to two years. A provision for estimated future costs relating to warranty expense is recorded when the products/systems become commercially operational.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of our fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our evaluation of goodwill impairment involves first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We may bypass this qualitative assessment, or determine that based on our qualitative assessment considering the totality of events and circumstances including macroeconomic factors, industry and market considerations, current and projected financial performance, a sustained decrease in our share price, or other factors, that additional impairment analysis is necessary. This additional analysis involves comparing the current fair value of our reporting units to their carrying values. We use a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to determine the current fair value of our two reporting units. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market share, sales volumes and prices, costs to produce and working capital changes. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated. However, actual fair values that could be realized in an actual transaction may differ from those used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill. For the APC business segment, the Company used working capital as a proxy of fair value for the business segment. Fuel Tech performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis for each of its reporting units as of October 1, 2021 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. We have two reporting units for goodwill evaluation purposes: the FUEL CHEM technology segment and the APC technology segment. Goodwill of our reporting units is assigned upon acquisition after considering the nature of the net assets giving rise to the goodwill and how each reporting unit would enjoy the benefits and synergies of the net assets acquired. There is no goodwill associated with our APC technology segment. The entire goodwill balance of $2,116 was allocated to the FUEL CHEM technology segment as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company did not recognize a charge for goodwill impairment for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Other Intangible Assets Management reviews other finite-lived intangible assets, patent assets, trade names, and lease assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. In the event that impairment indicators exist, a further analysis is performed and if the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset or asset group is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset or asset group's carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the estimates of future cash flows are made, however, the actual cash values that could be realized may differ from those that are estimated. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Fuel Tech recorded an abandonment charge of $197 due to the Company's decision to no longer maintain and defend certain patents and trademarks which are no longer contributing to operations. The abandonment charge was calculated by determining the net book values of the abandoned patent assets by deducting the accumulated amortization from the acquisition cost. The abandonment charge is included in Intangible assets abandonment and impairment line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Fuel Tech recorded no patent or trademark abandonment charges. Third-party costs related to the development of patents are included within other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The third-party costs capitalized as patent costs during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $52 and $0, respectively. Third-party costs are comprised of legal fees that relate to the review and preparation of patent disclosures and filing fees incurred to present the patents to the required governing body. Our intellectual property portfolio has been a significant building block for the Air Pollution Control and FUEL CHEM technology segments. The patents are essential to the generation of revenue for our businesses and are essential to protect us from competition in the markets in which we serve. These costs are being amortized on the straight-line method over the period beginning with the patent issuance date and ending on the patent expiration date. Patent maintenance fees are charged to operations as incurred. Amortization expense from continuing operations for intangible assets was $157 and $185 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The table below shows the amortization period and other intangible asset cost by intangible asset as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the accumulated amortization and net intangible asset value in total for all other intangible assets.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at historical cost and does not include capital in process expenditures yet to be capitalized. Provisions for depreciation are computed by the straight-line method, using estimated useful lives that range based on the nature of the asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the associated lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense from continuing operations was $584 and $663 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The table below shows the depreciable life and cost by asset class as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the accumulated depreciation and net book value in total for all classes of assets.
Description of Property and Equipment |  | Depreciable Life (years) |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |

Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets (or asset group) may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist, we perform a more detailed analysis and an impairment loss is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset (or asset group) and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount. This process of analyzing impairment involves examining the operating condition of individual assets (or asset group) and estimating a fair value based upon current condition, relevant market factors and remaining estimated operational life compared to the asset’s remaining depreciable life. Quoted market prices and other valuation techniques are used to determine expected cash flows. A significant portion of our property and equipment is comprised of assets deployed at customer locations relating to our FUEL CHEM technology asset group, and due to the shorter-term duration over which this equipment is depreciated, the likelihood of impairment is mitigated. The discontinuation of a FUEL CHEM program at a customer site would most likely result in the re-deployment of all or most of the affected assets to another customer location rather than an impairment.
Revenue [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Air Pollution Control Technology Fuel Tech’s APC contracts are typically six to eighteen months in length. A typical contract will have three or four critical operational measurements that, when achieved, serve as the basis for us to invoice the customer via progress billings. At a minimum, these measurements will include the generation of engineering drawings, the shipment of equipment and the completion of a system performance test. As part of most of its contractual APC project agreements, Fuel Tech will agree to customer-specific acceptance criteria that relate to the operational performance of the system that is being sold. These criteria are determined based on modeling that is performed by Fuel Tech personnel, which is based on operational inputs that are provided by the customer. The customer will warrant that these operational inputs are accurate as they are specified in the binding contractual agreement. Further, the customer is solely responsible for the accuracy of the operating condition information; typically all performance guarantees and equipment warranties granted by us are voidable if the operating condition information is inaccurate or is not met. Since control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the single performance obligation. Fuel Tech uses the cost-to-cost input measure of progress for our contracts since it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost input measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill include all internal and external engineering costs, equipment charges, inbound and outbound freight expenses, internal and site transfer costs, installation charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, project personnel travel expenses and other direct and indirect expenses specifically identified as project- or product-line related, as appropriate (e.g. test equipment depreciation and certain insurance expenses). Fuel Tech’s APC product line also includes ancillary revenue for post contractual goods and services. Revenue associated with these activities are recognized at point in time when delivery of goods or completion of the service obligation is performed. Fuel Tech has installed over 1,200 units with APC technology and normally provides performance guarantees to our customers based on the operating conditions for the project. As part of the project implementation process, we perform system start-up and optimization services that effectively serve as a test of actual project performance. We believe that this test, combined with the accuracy of the modeling that is performed, enables revenue to be recognized prior to the receipt of formal customer acceptance. FUEL CHEM Revenues from the sale of chemical products are recognized when control transfers to customer upon shipment or delivery of the product based on the applicable shipping terms. We generally recognize revenue for these arrangements at a point in time based on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. On occasion, Fuel Tech will engineer and sell its chemical pumping equipment. These projects are similar in nature to the APC projects described above and for those projects where control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the single performance obligation. For projects containing multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price based on the estimated standalone selling price. The Company must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company utilizes key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price, which may include other comparable transactions, pricing considered in negotiating the transaction and the estimated costs. Variable consideration is allocated specifically to one or more performance obligations in a contract when the terms of the variable consideration relate to the satisfaction of the performance obligation and the resulting amounts allocated are consistent with the amounts the Company would expect to receive for the satisfaction of each performance obligation. The consideration allocated to each performance obligation is recognized as revenue when control is transferred for the related goods or services. For performance obligations which consist of licenses and other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. The Company receives payments from its customers based on billing schedules established in each contract. Up-front payments and fees are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due until the Company performs its obligations under these arrangements. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional.
Cost of Goods and Service [Policy Text Block] | Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes all internal and external engineering costs, equipment and chemical charges, inbound and outbound freight expenses, internal and site transfer costs, installation charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, project personnel travel expenses and other direct and indirect expenses specifically identified as project- or product line-related, as appropriate (e.g., test equipment depreciation and certain insurance expenses). Certain depreciation and amortization expenses related to tangible and intangible assets, respectively, are allocated to cost of sales. We classify shipping and handling costs in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include the following categories except where an allocation to the cost of sales line item is warranted due to the project- or product-line nature of a portion of the expense category: salaries and wages, employee benefits, non-project travel, insurance, legal, rent, accounting and auditing, recruiting, telephony, employee training, Board of Directors’ fees, auto rental, office supplies, dues and subscriptions, utilities, real estate taxes, commissions and bonuses, marketing materials, postage and business taxes. Departments comprising the selling, general and administrative line item primarily include the functions of executive management, finance and accounting, investor relations, regulatory affairs, marketing, business development, information technology, human resources, sales, legal and general administration.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, the provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable (or received or receivable) for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid, and result from differences between the financial and tax bases of our assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all potential sources of taxable income, including income available in carryback periods, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, projections of taxable income, and income from tax planning strategies, as well as all available positive and negative evidence. Positive evidence includes factors such as a history of profitable operations, projections of future profitability within the carryforward period, including from tax planning strategies, and our experience with similar operations. Negative evidence includes items such as cumulative losses, projections of future losses, or carryforward periods that are not long enough to allow for the utilization of a deferred tax asset based on existing projections of income. Deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance is recorded may not be realized upon changes in facts and circumstances. Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return are recorded when such benefits meet a more likely than not threshold. Otherwise, these tax benefits are recorded when a tax position has been effectively settled, which means that the statute of limitation has expired or the appropriate taxing authority has completed their examination even though the statute of limitations remains open. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as part of the provision for income taxes and are accrued beginning in the period that such interest and penalties would be applicable under relevant tax law until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized.
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] | Leases The Company applies the provisions of ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating whether the arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from and has the ability to direct the use of the asset. Right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Operating ROU assets also include the impact of any lease incentives. Operating leases are included in right-of-use operating lease assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - non-current on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and we elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases. For certain equipment leases, such as vehicles, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We also elected the practical expedient to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the consolidated balance sheet.
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation Our stock-based employee compensation plan, referred to as the Fuel Tech, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan), was adopted in May 2014 and allows for awards to be granted to participants in the form of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and bonuses or other forms of share-based or non-share-based awards or combinations thereof. Participants in the Incentive Plan may be our directors, officers, employees, consultants or advisors (except consultants or advisors in capital-raising transactions) as the directors determine are key to the success of our business. There are a maximum of 5,600,676 shares that may be issued or reserved for awards to participants under the Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2021. Based on the existing issued or reserved awards in Incentive Plan, there are 2,603,801 shares available to be used for future awards to participants in the Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2021.
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Nonpension Benefits, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Defined Contribution Plan We have a retirement savings plan available for all our U.S. employees who have met minimum length-of-service requirements. Our contributions are determined based upon amounts contributed by the employees with additional contributions made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Costs related to this plan were $206 and $222 in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per share excludes the antidilutive effects of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), warrants, and the nil coupon non-redeemable convertible unsecured loan notes (see Note 6). Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of the nil coupon non-redeemable convertible unsecured loan notes, RSUs, warrants, and unexercised in-the-money stock options, except in periods of net loss where the effect of these instruments is antidilutive. Out-of-the-money stock options and warrants are excluded from diluted earnings per share because they are unlikely to be exercised and would be anti-dilutive if they were exercised. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had outstanding equity awards of 214,500 and 584,505, respectively, and 2,850,000 warrants at December 31, 2021, which were antidilutive for the purpose of calculation of the diluted earnings per share. As of December 31, 2020, 547,000 incremental equity awards were antidilutive because of the net loss in the year then ended. These equity awards could potentially dilute basic EPS in future years. The table below sets forth the weighted-average shares used at December 31 in calculating earnings (loss) per share:
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Basic weighted-average shares |  |  | 29,585,000 |  |  |  | 24,691,000 |
Conversion of unsecured loan notes |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Unexercised options and unvested restricted stock units |  |  | 109,000 |  |  |  | — |
Diluted weighted-average shares |  |  | 29,694,000 |  |  |  | 24,691,000 |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Risk Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of its primary depository institution where a significant portion of its deposits are held. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had four customers which individually represented greater than 10% of revenues. Three customers primarily contributed revenues to the FUEL CHEM technology segment and one contributed revenue to the APC technology segment. In total these four customers represented 60% of consolidated revenues. We had no customer that accounted for greater than 10% of our current assets as of December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had two customers which individually represented greater than 10% of revenues. Both customers contributed revenues to both product segments but were primarily concentrated in our FUEL CHEM technology segment and represented 28% of consolidated revenues. We had no customers that accounted for greater than 10% of our current assets as of December 31, 2020. We control credit risk through requiring milestone payments on long-term contracts, performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, and in some cases obtaining security for payment through bank guarantees and letters of credit.
Stockholders' Equity, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Treasury Stock We use the cost method to account for common stock repurchases. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we withheld 15,162 and 152,257 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $52 and $570, respectively, to settle personal tax withholding obligations that arose as a result of restricted stock units that vested. Refer to Note 5, “Treasury Stock,” for further discussion.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This guidance amends the current accounting guidance and requires the measurement of all expected losses based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The standard will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption, but we do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.
