Cielo's Project Nexus: Transforming Waste into Renewable Energy
CALGARY, Alberta -- Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (TSXV: CMC; OTCQB: CWSFF) is excited to unveil its groundbreaking initiative known as Project Nexus. This project represents a significant milestone in the world of clean fuels. The facility, strategically located in British Columbia, symbolizes the launching pad for what Cielo envisions as the NEXUS Platform—a scalable framework dedicated to future clean energy projects.
Revolutionizing Waste Streams
At the heart of Project Nexus is a transformative approach to managing waste. The facility aims to convert challenging waste materials, such as creosote-treated railway ties, woody biomass, and agricultural by-products, into valuable renewable fuels like natural gas and hydrogen. Beyond merely a commercial venture, Project Nexus serves as the proof-of-concept for Cielo’s ambitious NEXUS Platform, designed to replicate successful waste-to-fuel operations in various regions.
Expanding Horizons with the NEXUS Platform
Cielo's vision extends beyond just Project Nexus. The Company plans to leverage this initial project to expand its reach across Canada and into international markets. The adaptable nature of the NEXUS Platform enables the integration of proven technologies tailored to local resources and market demands, ensuring flexibility and scalability in its operations.
Identifying the First Facility Location
The Company has pinpointed a site in Northern British Columbia for the future facility. Currently, Cielo is conducting thorough site due diligence. This process is critical before progressing to the pre-FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) stage, which will include initial engineering assessments and the integration of innovative technologies.
Insights from Cielo's Leadership
Ryan Jackson, the CEO of Cielo, expressed, "Project Nexus signifies a pivotal moment for our Company. This facility is not just another project; it is the cornerstone for future developments in renewable energy. With Project Nexus, we aim to lead Canada’s clean energy transition and set the stage for global innovations in waste-to-fuel technology."
Funding Initiatives to Accelerate Growth
To support the rapid advancement of Project Nexus, Cielo has applied for a $5 million grant through the Canadian Clean Fuels Fund. The Company is actively pursuing various funding opportunities, including the CleanBC Industry Fund and the Strategic Innovation Fund. Securing these funds would significantly ease financial pressures and improve the project's overall economics as it progresses.
Government Support for Clean Energy
An encouraging development came on September 5, 2025, when the Government of Canada announced a new Biofuels Production Incentive. This $370 million initiative is designed to enhance the competitiveness of low-carbon fuel producers across the country. Cielo recognizes that while this incentive may not directly affect Project Nexus, it illustrates Canada’s commitment to fostering clean energy initiatives.
Trading on OTCQB: A New Chapter
In a bid to broaden its investor base, Cielo is also thrilled to announce that its common shares are now trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol “CWSFF,” alongside its existing presence on the TSX Venture Exchange (symbol: CMC).
Understanding the OTCQB Market
The OTCQB, managed by OTC Markets Group, focuses on early-stage and development-stage companies, ensuring they adhere to stringent financial and governance standards. Investors can find up-to-date market information regarding Cielo’s shares in this dynamic trading environment.
