FuelPositive Reports Progress on Manitoba System and Government Funding Discussions
Final on-site work is now underway. Engineering partner Stantec and electrical and mechanical partner Wescan are completing the last system adaptations to meet Manitoba Hydro's requirements. These include targeted refinements in designated hazardous zones to ensure compliance with all relevant electrical and safety regulations. Inspections and certifications by Intertek and Manitoba Hydro are expected to follow pending confirmation of the next phase of operational funding.
In parallel, FuelPositive is in advanced discussions with two provincial and one federal government body for both non-dilutive and strategic equity funding. These high-level negotiations are progressing well, and the Company anticipates greater clarity in the near term, aligned with its long-term commercialization goals.
Additional funding through the Agricultural Clean Technology Program (ACTP) is also expected in the coming weeks. While non-dilutive funding remains the company's clear priority, FuelPositive is prepared to pursue complementary options to stay on track and maintain its first-mover advantage.
"Non-dilutive financing is always our preference," said Ian Clifford , Co-Founder and CEO of FuelPositive. "That said, we're open to aligned equity participation, especially when it helps us deliver faster. Our focus is securing the right capital to meet our commitments to Manitoba farmers and our shareholders."
FuelPositive continues to receive direct support from Manitoba farmers, who have shown strong interest in future system purchases following the successful launch of the first unit.
With deployment now within reach, the company remains focused on moving quickly and effectively.
"We're in the final stretch," Clifford added. "Momentum is building and we're pushing forward for Canadian farmers and a cleaner, more resilient agricultural future."
Further updates on certification and funding will follow shortly.
About FuelPositive:
Groundbreaking AgTech and Green Energy:
FuelPositive's containerized Green Ammonia systems are redefining the ammonia industry by decentralizing production and placing control directly in the hands of farmers. This innovative model enables on-site generation of green nitrogen fertilizer and carbon-free fuel, reducing dependence on volatile supply chains and pricing.

Conservatives call for investigation of Spanish drugmakers' use of Canadian-donated blood plasma
Conservative MPs are calling for a parliamentary investigation into Spanish drugmaker Grifols's GIFOF use of Canadian-donated blood plasma to make medicines for sale abroad. The call follows a Globe and Mail investigation that found Canadian Blood Services is selling some blood components to Grifols to manufacture a product called albumin, as part of a complex arrangement between the international pharmaceutical company and the Canadian charity to collect and process blood plasma. Plasma is a straw-coloured fluid in blood used for transfusions and to make therapies such as immunoglobulin, commonly used for people with immune disorders. Both CBS and Grifols collect plasma at donation centres across Canada, and Grifols pays donors while CBS does not. Hamilton rebukes Canadian Blood Services, Grifols over paying for blood plasma donations In a letter sent Wednesday to House of Commons health committee chair Hedy Fry, six Conservative MPs called the details in the story 'troubling.' The letter also references the fact that the private-equity arm of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. BAM-T explored a bid to buy Grifols last year. At the time of the bid, Mark Carney was chair of the board of Brookfield, one of the world's largest asset managers, but he stepped down in January to pursue the leadership of the Liberal Party and ultimately became Prime Minister. Brookfield said in April it had dropped its bid for Grifols. 'We urge you to recall the Standing Committee on Health to investigate both the use of Canadian-donated plasma by Grifols and the potential conflicts of interest arising from the Prime Minister's investments in Brookfield Asset Management, given its attempts to acquire Grifols,' wrote the letter's signatories, including Conservative shadow health minister Dan Mazier. 'Canadians expect their donated blood plasma to save lives in Canada and not to be turned into profits for foreign companies or the Prime Minister.' The Canadian Health Coalition, a progressive group that advocates for the public health care system, said it also supported the call for a parliamentary investigation. 'I think every member of Parliament deserves an explanation from Canadian Blood Services about the murky details of its agreement with Grifols,' said Steven Staples, the group's national director of policy and advocacy. CBS has had a lengthy association with Grifols. The Spanish drugmaker has been a long-time supplier of immunoglobulin and consulted with CBS on a national plasma-collection strategy before the agency announced a formal partnership in 2022. Under the 15-year agreement, Grifols acts as CBS's 'agent' in Ontario, allowing the company to get around a legal ban on paying for plasma donations. In a statement, Grifols said it is 'proud of our pioneering, long-term agreement with Canadian Blood Services to help Canada reach self-sufficiency in immunoglobulins. We continue to follow the agreement to the letter and deliver on our commitments.' CBS said the partnership was necessary to boost the domestic supply of immunoglobulin, which has faced global shortages. CBS said it currently meets 27 per cent of its plasma needs domestically, compared with 15 per cent before 2022. The agency said Grifols's medicine being sold abroad is made from 'byproducts' of the immunoglobulin manufacturing process, and the arrangement lowers the manufacturing cost to CBS. Plasma therapies make up an enormous share of CBS's annual budget. It spent $913-million on 'plasma protein and related products' last year, according to its 2024 annual report, about 60 per cent of its expenses that year. Nearly all of its revenue comes from provincial and territorial governments.

City councillors recommend sale of land near Kingsway Mall for $1
Members of Edmonton city council are recommending selling a plot of land to NiGiNan Housing Ventures for $1. The nearly 0.3 hectares of land along 106 Street in the Spruce Avenue neighbourhood would be the site of a development called Ambrose Place II and would provide supportive housing for vulnerable people in the city. Councillors Aaron Paquette, Tim Cartmell, Karen Principe and Keren Tang and Mayor Amarjeet Sohi voted 5-0 in favour of the motion presented to Executive Committee on Aug. 13. This would allow NiGiNan Housing Ventures to develop the five-storey building to accommodate at least 60 housing units. The building would also include a ceremonial room, where programs like medicine picking and beading workshops could take place. A report from city administration also recommends providing around $5.2 million in funding for the project, as a part of its Affordable Housing Investment Program grant. The report estimated that the total cost of the project could reach $30.7 million. Keri Cardinal, CEO of NiGiNan Housing Ventures, said the location of the new development is critical to provide supports for those who need it. "The transit system's right there, the Royal Alex is right there, Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital is right there. So it's just really close to those services that our folks tend to use," she said in an interview Wednesday. The non-profit organization currently operates four other supportive housing sites across the city. She said this new development speaks to the need for more supportive housing developments that are culturally informed. Last September, Homeward Trust calculated that the homeless population in Edmonton hit 4,697. Nearly half of those who were surveyed identified as Indigenous. "Unfortunately, we are still needed in the community. We also don't want to be so needed," Cardinal said. Residents express concern In the committee meeting, residents cited concerns over the height of the building, interference with sewage and drainage, and safety. Residents said the neighbourhood was already dealing with high populations of vulnerable individuals, and felt that a development like this would encourage more to come. Ellie Sasseville, CEO of Kingsway District Association, said while residents and businesses in the neighbourhood are in support of the development, it comes with some caveats. "We need to ensure that the managing agencies who put these kinds of projects together foster good relationships with the surrounding community," she said. "We have an increase in the vulnerable population in our neighborhood. We've had an increase in crime in our neighbourhood, so the reality is, dropping anything in this neighbourhood that doesn't provide supports or address that would be a mistake." Sasseville said many businesses in the area already pay for their own security to deal with the increase in crime. She said NiGiNan Housing Ventures should be responsible for clean up around the area, as well providing wraparound support for individuals to keep them off the streets. Ward Dene coun. Paquette said that while he understands many of the concerns, the ultimate solution would be to provide housing for people to get them off the streets. "When we see someone on the streets, we may not remember the story behind that, and we get frustrated and angry," he said. "But for people who have been broken for generations, it's very hard. Some people do manage to break those chains, some people don't." For Cardinal, the kind of housing and support that NiGiNan Housing Ventures provides focuses on a decolonized method of treatment. "We really are an Indigenous-led recovery model. At the end of the day, we want people to heal. We want people to find, you know, peace in their home that they live in," she said. "So the folks that are with us now, we are a successful solution to those that have been deemed hardest to house and can't be housed anywhere else in Edmonton."
