CVW CleanTech’s CEO, Akshay Dubey, said: “We have taken a fresh approach to stakeholder engagement, being very proactive in building support behind the development of our first CVW^TM project. We have an active dialogue with a number of commercial lenders providing the Company with a high degree of certainty around financing a potential CVW^TM implementation. We are also in the early stages of meeting with Indigenous groups in the region and are excited about the opportunity of these groups becoming advocates and partners in our technology.”

Mr. Dubey continued “These efforts are in addition to our engagement with large multinational insurance providers to secure technology deployment insurance, and ongoing discussions with potential engineering, procurement, and construction partners to understand their capabilities and economic risk sharing models, reducing the risk to the Company and its operating partners. These comprehensive efforts will create positive momentum behind commercialization of the Company’s CVW^TM technology.”

The Company continues to review other opportunities to create shareholder value. Diversifying, while retaining a focus on clean technology and the role it plays within decarbonization and the circular economy, has the potential to accelerate the Company’s growth across multiple sectors and geographies while transforming the company into a leader in the clean technology space.
