One Deal Just Unlocked Carbon Tech for All of Canada

Published by Todd Bush on January 11, 2026

A single licensing agreement has opened the door to nationwide carbon capture deployment in Canada. ESG Clean Energy has granted Viking Energy Group, a majority-owned subsidiary of Camber Energy, exclusive rights to use its patented CO2-free power generation technology across all Canadian provinces and territories.

The deal also includes non-exclusive rights for up to 25 locations in the United States. This positions Viking Energy to become a major player in North America's growing clean energy market, where carbon capture investments are accelerating rapidly.

ESG Clean Energy System

What Makes This Technology Stand Out

The ESG Clean Energy System does something few carbon capture technologies can claim: it captures approximately 100% of CO2 emissions from internal combustion engines without sacrificing efficiency. That's a significant achievement in an industry where most systems face trade-offs between capture rates and power output.

The system works by separating water vapor and CO2 from exhaust gases. These byproducts are then converted into marketable commodities, turning what would be waste into revenue streams.

Nick Scuderi

"Securing a license arrangement on this scale is a major milestone for ESG Clean Energy. This agreement enables ESG to not only expand our power generation business, but also allows us to provide more effective energy solutions outside the United States by leveraging the experience, expertise and relationships within the entire Viking and Camber organization."

Nick Scuderi, President of ESG Clean Energy

From Waste to Wealth

The captured CO2 and water vapor don't just disappear. The ESG system transforms them into valuable products that can be sold on the open market. This circular approach addresses one of the biggest challenges facing carbon capture projects: making the economics work.

Applications Across Multiple Industries

Beyond power generation, the ESG system opens doors for decarbonization in sectors that have struggled to reduce emissions. The technology's flexibility makes it attractive for diverse applications, from industrial facilities to remote energy operations.

Application Benefit
Plastics Recycling Low-cost, CO2-free heat for processing
Wastewater Treatment Efficient nitrogen removal to prevent algae blooms
Stranded Gas Wells Converts non-operating wells into revenue producers
Microgrids Reliable backup power during grid outages
Data Centers Clean, low-cost energy in compact systems
Crypto Mining High energy demands met without CO2 emissions

Strategic Timing for Canada

This deal arrives as Canada ramps up investments in carbon capture technology. The federal government has committed billions through the CCUS Investment Tax Credit, offering up to 60% for qualifying projects. Provincial programs in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan add further incentives.

Viking Energy plans to leverage its recently acquired subsidiary, Simson-Maxwell Ltd., to promote the ESG Clean Energy System throughout western Canada. The company already has established relationships with industrial and commercial clients who need reliable power generation.

"In my view this transaction positions us as an industry leader in terms of being able to assist with the power generation needs of commercial and industrial organizations while at the same time helping them reduce their carbon footprint to satisfy regulatory requirements or to simply follow best ESG-practices."

James Doris, President and CEO of Camber Energy

Canada's Pathways Alliance

A Growing Market Opportunity

The global carbon capture market is entering a new phase of growth. According to IEA data, over 50 million tonnes of CO2 capture capacity is now operational worldwide. In North America, the CCUS market is maturing thanks to government incentives and corporate investments.

Canada's Pathways Alliance and other initiatives are building pipeline networks to connect capture sources with storage sites, creating infrastructure that companies like Viking Energy can leverage.

Deal Highlights at a Glance

  • Exclusive license for all of Canada with unlimited system deployments
  • Non-exclusive rights for up to 25 U.S. locations
  • 100% CO2 capture without efficiency loss
  • Multiple revenue streams from captured byproducts

Setting the Stage for Scale

With regulatory pressures mounting and corporate sustainability commitments growing, the timing positions both companies well. ESG Clean Energy gets access to the Canadian market without building out its own sales infrastructure, while Viking Energy gains a differentiated technology.

The agreement represents exactly the kind of partnership that could accelerate carbon capture adoption across North America's energy landscape. As industries seek practical solutions to meet emissions targets, technology delivering both environmental and economic benefits will be in high demand.
