Acceleware Awarded $2 Million in Non-Dilutive Funding
Acceleware Secures $2M Grant for RF XL 2.0 Heavy Oil Pilot Amid Cash Crunch and Debt Restructuring

Executive Summary
- Acceleware has been awarded up to $2 million in non-dilutive grant funding from the Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN) to deploy its RF XL 2.0 technology in a heavy oil reservoir in Saskatchewan's Mannville Stack.
- The funding is conditional on executing an Ultimate Recipient Agreement with CRIN and securing the remaining project capital.
- Eligible project costs span from January 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027.
- The project builds on technical learnings from prior deployments and serves as a critical step toward proving the commercial viability of RF XL 2.0.
- This follows the recent acquisition of 35 net sections of heavy oil assets in the same region for $100,000 cash plus a gross overriding royalty.
Material Impact
- The $2 million grant provides essential non-dilutive runway to advance the RF XL 2.0 pilot, which management previously estimated would cost $5 to $6 million.
- It mitigates immediate liquidity pressure but does not fully fund the pilot or address the company's structural cash burn.
- The conditional nature of the grant and the requirement to secure remaining project capital mean the company still faces significant funding gaps.
- The news is positive for operational progress but does not fundamentally alter the capital-intensive nature of the commercialization phase.
