CALGARY A company investigating the use of radio frequency energy as a cleaner and cheaper way to produce bitumen from the oilsands says it has the financial means to proceed with a commercial pilot project.
A recent commitment of $5 million from Alberta Innovates, a provincial research agency, brings its direct funding to $19 million and fully funds its proposed pilot, Calgary-based Acceleware Ltd. said Wednesday.
Its other funders include Suncor Energy Inc. and an unnamed second major oilsands producer with up to $2 million each, $5.25 million from Sustainable Development Technology Canada and $5 million from Emissions Reduction Alberta.
“The COVID year was pretty good for us because we were able to secure a site for that commercial pilot, we were able to get it approved by the Alberta Energy Regulator and now with this last little bit of funding, we’ve got all the financial resources we need to pull it off,” said CEO Geoff Clark in an interview.

SURREY, B.C. – FortisBC Energy Inc. received approval from the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) to maintain the cost of gas rates for current customers until June 30th, 2021, including customers in Fort Nelson.
Customers won’t be seeing a change to the cost of gas on their bills. The BCUC and FortisBC review the rates every quarter to ensure the costs are accurately reflecting the cost of purchasing the commodity for delivery to customers.
Diane Roy, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs with FortisBC says, “We understand that energy costs are an important decision in household budgets. Our priority remains to deliver safe and reliable energy to our customers while working to keep rates as low as possible. When it comes to the cost of natural gas, we don’t make a profit from it. Our customers pay exactly what we pay.”
