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.

Company Overview
  • Acceleware develops radio-frequency (RF) heating technology designed to produce viscous heavy oil that is uneconomical to extract conventionally.
  • The company operates a dual-track strategy: deploying RF XL 2.0 in heavy oil reservoirs and applying its Clean Tech Inverter (CTI) platform to mineral processing and decarbonization applications.
  • Recent activities include securing farm-in agreements in Saskatchewan and Alberta, completing feasibility studies for major miners like BHP, and advancing a potash dryer prototype with the International Minerals Innovation Institute (IMII).
