Calgary, Alberta — August 2026 — Cvictus is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $750,000 from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) to advance the development and pilot testing of our non-photosynthetic single cell protein (SCP) technology.
The project will support the next stage of development of Cvictus’s SCP platform, with a focus on demonstrating its potential as a high-quality, low-carbon protein source for poultry and swine feed.
Turning resources into higher-value products
The investment represents an important milestone in Cvictus’s broader strategy to transform abundant resources into lower-carbon products with significant global markets.
Our integrated approach creates the opportunity to move beyond the traditional production of energy toward higher-value products that support energy, agriculture, and food security.
From Alberta resources to global markets
Global demand for protein continues to grow, while agricultural systems face increasing constraints around land availability, water use, climate impacts, and biodiversity. Technologies that can produce nutrition more efficiently have the potential to become an important part of a more resilient global food system.
For Cvictus, Alberta provides a unique foundation from which to pursue this opportunity: abundant resources, technical expertise, and access to major global markets.
The ERA investment will help move the SCP technology toward commercial readiness and further demonstrate the potential to create value from resources that are already abundant in the province.
Building a diversified clean technology platform
The development of SCP is part of Cvictus’s larger vision to build a scalable platform for producing a range of low-carbon products in Alberta.
By combining resource development, gasification, syngas production, and downstream technologies, we can create multiple pathways to value. This diversified product strategy is central to the company’s long-term commercial vision: leveraging one resource and technology platform to serve multiple large and growing markets.
Cvictus is grateful to Emissions Reduction Alberta for its support and recognition of the potential of this technology. The funding marks another important step toward demonstrating how Alberta can transform its resource advantage into the products and industries of the future.
