CVW CleanTech was founded in 1997, originally incorporated as Titanium Corporation. Initially trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the stock symbol “TIC”, the company’s early focus was on discovering and recovering titanium on the east coast of Canada. The company eventually shifted its operations to Alberta, a region rich in titanium and other critical minerals.

In Alberta, CVW CleanTech (then Titanium Corporation) collaborated with oil sands mining operators and industry experts to develop its proprietary technology. It was during this period that the company advanced its hydrocarbon recovery, critical minerals recovery, and significant environmental benefits. The company underwent an intensive period of engineering and design, completing two consecutive Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) studies and advancing its technology to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 8.

In early 2022, the company rebranded to CVW CleanTech Inc. to better reflect its expanded value proposition. The company continued trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new stock symbol “CVW.” In 2024, CVW CleanTech announced its first royalty financing transaction with Northstar Clean Technologies Inc.

CVW CleanTech remains dedicated to commercializing its proprietary technology while also providing royalty financing to other clean technology companies.
