Project level financing talks are continuing with private equity and debt firms; impact investment firms and traditional banking groups for both the USGC and Alberta facilities.

In our ongoing effort to secure additional non-dilutive financing, Gen III submitted an expression of interest to Emissions Reduction Alberta’s Shovel-Ready Challenge: https://eralberta.ca/apply-for-funding/shovel-ready-challenge/. While there is no guarantee of an award, Gen III knows its re-refinery project will create high paying construction, fabrication and operations jobs while reducing CO2e emissions in Alberta.
