The successful completion of this financing reflects the continued confidence of investors and long-term stakeholders who share FuelPositive’s vision of decentralized Green Ammonia production. At a time when raising capital has remained challenging for many emerging technology companies, the Company is encouraged by the continued support of existing and new investors who recognize the need for practical, decentralized solutions that strengthen agriculture, improve food security and support remote communities.
More importantly, the financing enables FuelPositive to continue executing the next phase of its business plan. Years of engineering, corporate development and strategic preparation have converged to position the Company for demonstration, providing the opportunity to validate its technology under real operating conditions while continuing to advance toward commercialization.
Building a Stronger Company
Although public announcements have been less frequent over the past two years, FuelPositive has been diligently focused on strengthening every major aspect of the Company.
Rather than concentrating on a single initiative, FuelPositive has advanced engineering, manufacturing readiness, governance, financing, research collaborations, strategic partnerships, supplier relationships and commercialization planning simultaneously. Each initiative has contributed to a stronger organization that is better positioned for long-term growth.
Many of these efforts have progressed concurrently, reflecting a disciplined approach to strengthening both the Company’s technology platform and its corporate foundation. These investments have established the organizational, technical and financial capabilities needed not only to support demonstration, but also future manufacturing, commercial deployment and continued innovation. Collectively, they represent two years of intense work to prepare FuelPositive for its next stage of development.
The successful completion of this financing is another important step in that progression. It strengthens the Company’s financial position as FuelPositive enters its next stage of development.
As activities increasingly shift from preservation and planning toward implementation and demonstration, the Company’s focus is turning to execution, operational performance and commercial readiness.
Expanding Technical Expertise
FuelPositive continues to benefit from an expanding network of engineering firms, researchers, contractors and strategic collaborators who share the Company’s long-term vision.
Today, engineering disciplines, specialized contractors, researchers and strategic advisors are working in parallel toward a common objective: successfully demonstrating FuelPositive’s technology and supporting its transition toward commercialization.
Long-standing engineering partners, led by Stantec, continue to support the activation and demonstration project alongside specialized contractors across the electrical, mechanical and chemical disciplines.
Core team consultants have resumed key technical responsibilities, bringing valuable continuity and years of hands-on experience as FuelPositive transitions to its next stage.
At this transformative stage, the Company has expanded its collaboration with Dr. Ibrahim Dincer and his research team. Their internationally recognized expertise will contribute to validating the Company’s first demonstration system while supporting essential safety protocols, future optimization, IP development and the continued evolution of FuelPositive’s technology through advanced research and chemical engineering.
FuelPositive also recognizes the dedication of its employees, whose commitment, alongside that of its Board of Directors, investors, engineering partners, researchers, contractors, suppliers and strategic collaborators, has been instrumental in advancing the Company to this important stage of development.
Preparing for Demonstration
FuelPositive is currently focused on the activities required to begin demonstrating its decentralized Green Ammonia technology under real operating conditions in Manitoba.
As expected with any first-of-its-kind technology deployment, the Company continues to satisfy the remaining utility integration and regulatory requirements associated with its Manitoba demonstration project. While these requirements have added complexity and extended timelines beyond those typically encountered in many other jurisdictions, FuelPositive remains focused on completing this phase and moving into demonstration as efficiently and responsibly as possible.
At the same time, the Company continues advancing future deployment models designed to reduce reliance on conventional utility infrastructure. FuelPositive believes energy-independent configurations, including off-grid applications, have the potential to simplify future deployments, expand commercial opportunities and provide greater flexibility for farmers, remote communities and industrial users.
These efforts reflect the Company’s long-term objective of developing a platform capable of serving a broad range of operating environments while supporting future commercial growth.
The demonstration phase will represent the first opportunity to validate FuelPositive’s technology while welcoming prospective customers, researchers, strategic partners, government representatives, Indigenous communities and industry stakeholders to experience the system firsthand.
Beyond validating system performance, the demonstration program is expected to generate valuable operational knowledge, performance data and customer feedback that will support manufacturing readiness, future product development and broader commercial deployment. The Company views this phase as an important bridge between years of development and the next stage of commercialization.
Looking Beyond the First System
FuelPositive’s vision has always extended well beyond demonstrating a single system.
Even as the Company prepares for demonstration, development of future generations of its technology continues. Drawing on engineering experience, research collaborations, and feedback from farmers and other prospective customers, FuelPositive is evaluating enhancements intended to improve performance, simplify deployment, support energy-independent configurations, and address the evolving needs of agriculture, remote communities, and future industrial markets.
By advancing next-generation development in parallel with demonstration activities, the Company expects to incorporate real-world operating experience directly into future commercial products while broadening the long-term applicability of its technology.
FuelPositive believes this continuous approach to innovation will strengthen the scalability and modularity of its platform and support long-term value creation as commercialization progresses.
Strengthening the Corporate Foundation
Alongside technical progress, FuelPositive has continued building the business infrastructure required for its next stage of development.
Over the past two years, the Company has enhanced its governance, financial and organizational capabilities to support future commercialization.
The Board of Directors has remained actively engaged throughout this process, supporting the Company’s long-term strategy, reinforcing its governance framework and helping position FuelPositive for sustainable growth.
FuelPositive recently transitioned its primary banking relationship from RBC to Steinbach Credit Union. The Company believes Steinbach Credit Union’s deep agricultural roots, entrepreneurial focus and commitment to innovation make it a stronger long-term financial partner whose values closely align with FuelPositive’s mission and the communities it intends to serve.
The Company has also transitioned its bookkeeping and accounting services to MNP LLP, one of Canada’s leading national accounting, tax and business advisory firms. This transition further strengthens FuelPositive’s financial infrastructure as the Company prepares for future growth and commercialization.
Taken together, these initiatives reflect FuelPositive’s commitment to building not only innovative technology, but also a disciplined, resilient organization capable of supporting long-term execution.
Leadership Commentary
Despite continued challenges in the capital markets, FuelPositive continues to see interest from investors, researchers, industry participants and prospective customers who recognize the long-term potential of decentralized Green Ammonia production and the opportunities it can create across agriculture and other sectors.
Luna Charlebois, Chief Impact Officer and Director, commented:
“The past several years have tested this Company, but they have also made FuelPositive stronger, more disciplined and more determined. Behind this milestone are years of engineering, research, problem-solving and an extraordinary amount of work by people who continued to believe in what we are building and why it matters.
We are now approaching the moment when that work can move into real-world demonstration. For us, this has never been about building a single system. It is about creating a practical platform that can give farmers and communities greater control over something fundamental to their future: how and where essential inputs are produced.
We are deeply grateful to the shareholders, partners and team members who have helped us reach this stage, and incredibly energized by what comes next.
Ian Clifford, CEO and Chair, commented:
“Completing this financing, together with the conversion of debt into equity, represents an important milestone in FuelPositive’s evolution and strengthens the foundation from which we can execute our next phase. The decision of key stakeholders to convert debt into equity reflects a shared commitment to FuelPositive’s long-term success.
We are particularly grateful for the support demonstrated by our investors, suppliers and long-standing stakeholders, many of whom have stood with the Company through an exceptionally demanding period of development. That support has allowed us to preserve years of engineering and intellectual capital while building the team and corporate foundation required to move forward.
Demonstrating our technology under real operating conditions is the next critical step. It will allow us to validate years of development, generate the operational knowledge that will shape future systems and advance our preparations for broader commercial deployment.
Looking at FuelPositive today, I believe we have the strongest technical, organizational and strategic foundation we have had since the Company began, and we are ready to execute on the opportunity ahead.”
Annual General Meeting
FuelPositive looks forward to welcoming shareholders to its Annual General Meeting on August 11, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The Board views this year’s Annual General Meeting as an important opportunity to recognize the resilience, commitment and long-term perspective that have characterized FuelPositive’s journey. The Company believes the work completed over the past two years has positioned FuelPositive to enter its next stage from a position of greater strength and readiness than at any previous point in its history.
Warrant Extension
The Company announces that the proposed extension of 22,096,123 common share purchase warrants, previously announced on July 13, 2026, was not approved by the TSXV. As a result, the Company is not proceeding with the proposed extension.
About FuelPositive:
Fertilizer Independence and Farming Resilience
FuelPositive is a Canadian clean-tech company transforming agriculture through decentralized, on-farm Green Ammonia production systems. By enabling farmers to produce their own green nitrogen fertilizer and carbon-free fuel on-site, the Company is redefining the ammonia industry and putting control directly in the hands of those who feed the world. This model reduces reliance on volatile supply chains and unpredictable pricing, helping farmers secure their livelihoods and plan for the future.
Each tonne of ammonia produced by a FuelPositive system prevents up to two tonnes of CO2e emissions, offering both environmental and economic advantages. Designed for simplicity, reliability, and remote monitoring, the Company’s containerized systems integrate seamlessly into farm operations. Made in Canada for Canadian conditions, they are engineered to be as straightforward to operate as they are impactful.
The first FP300 demonstration system, installed on an 11,000-acre grain farm in Sperling, Manitoba, is designed to produce 100 metric tonnes of Green Ammonia annually. This unit serves as the foundation for the FP1500 commercial system, which can generate 500 metric tonnes annually for farms of about 10,000 acres. Powered by sustainable electricity, the systems produce carbon-free ammonia on demand, offering a decentralised, cost-effective alternative to animal manure and fossil-fuel-based fertilizers and fuels.
The delivery of the FP300 to Tracy and Curtis Hiebert’s farm in Sperling, Manitoba, marked a milestone in sustainable agriculture. Once activated, the system will demonstrate how local production can improve farm economics, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen resilience to climate change, market fluctuations, and global supply chain disruptions.
FuelPositive aims to position Canada as a global centre of excellence for decentralized Green Ammonia production and to establish a world-leading manufacturing hub. Supported by Stantec, one of the world’s top engineering and consulting firms, this initiative will drive economic growth, create high-value jobs in engineering, science, and skilled trades, and promote a more resilient and sustainable food system.

Chandigarh University Researchers Granted Patent for Attendance-Based Health Monitoring System to Monitor Three Vital Health Parameters
Published

August 8, 2026By
Students and Employees to benefit with regular monitoring of mental & physical health
CHANDIGARH, India, Aug. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A team of researchers at Chandigarh University has developed an attendance-based health monitoring system which integrates biometric attendance authentication with real-time physiological health monitoring. The system simultaneously measures multiple vital health parameters including body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure on a single device during biometric attendance.
This innovative health monitoring system, developed by Chandigarh University Researchers, Dr Vikas Wasson, Professor CSE & Director (Engineering Foundations), Dr Sachin Kalsi, Associate Professor (Mechanical Engineering) and Head-Academic Operations (E-Governance) along with three CU students Rishabh Raj, Paras Gupta, Vikas Sharma has been granted a patent by the Indian Patent Office in 2026.
Prof Wasson said the invention addresses a growing societal concern where students and employees often work or study for long hours under intense academic and professional pressure, while neglecting their physical well-being. “In today’s highly competitive world, students and working professionals pursue their academic, career and organisational goals, many times at the cost of their health. But long working hours, stress, irregular routines and inadequate attention to well-being gradually affects an individual’s physical and emotional health. We live in an age surrounded by intelligent technology, yet most attendance systems do not pay attention to the well-being of the person. This invention is an attempt to bridge that gap by integrating health monitoring into an activity that people already perform every day. By monitoring vital health parameters, the system can support the early identification of unusual health trends, thereby contributing to healthier workplaces and educational institutions,” he said.
Prof Kalsi said the invention provides a practical solution for integrating daily attendance management with preventive healthcare monitoring. “Since attendance recording is a mandatory activity in most organizations and educational institutions, the system enables routine health assessment without requiring additional effort from users. It also supports digital health record management by maintaining authenticated historical health data, which can be useful for health trend analysis, occupational safety, and institutional health management,” he said.
“In addition, the system reduces the dependence on wearable monitoring devices by embedding health monitoring directly into the attendance process, making it cost-effective and scalable for large organizations. Overall, the invention contributes to the advancement of smart healthcare infrastructure by combining biometric authentication, real-time physiological monitoring, automated health assessment, and institutional alert mechanisms into a single integrated platform, thereby promoting proactive healthcare, improving safety, and supporting the development of intelligent workplaces and smart educational campuses,” he added.
Prof Wasson said, “Almost every day, millions of us walk up to a biometric machine — in schools, colleges, coaching centres, and offices. Rather than only recording who showed up, the enhanced biometric sensor also reads three vital signs — blood pressure, body temperature, and heart rate. In one effortless gesture that people already perform every single day, the machine begins to understand not just whether a person is present, but how they truly are on the inside,”.
Prof Kalsi said, “A single stressful morning — a frantic rush to reach office on time — can spike anyone’s heart rate and blood pressure. So the system never judges a person on one reading. Instead, it monitors each individual over a seven-day period to learn their personal, normal baseline. Only a genuine, sustained deviation from that baseline is treated as meaningful. Crucially, the readings are never displayed on the screen, because a person confronted with alarming numbers may panic and worsen their own condition. Instead, the weekly data will flow confidentially to the Human Resource team. If someone’s pattern shifts in a concerning way, the HR department can take timely action to provide required medical help,” he added.
Prof Wasson said sensors for blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate all exist today but as separate instruments and have not traditionally been integrated into a single attendance device that millions use at their workplace daily. “The true novelty here is integration: fusing quiet health monitoring into routine biometric attendance, so that emotional and physical distress can be detected early, within the natural rhythm of everyday life, without asking anyone to do a single extra thing. The mission is stated plainly, and it is deeply human: to save lives. By transforming a mundane daily habit into a compassionate early-warning system, this invention aims to build calmer classrooms, healthier workplaces, and — above all — a world where far fewer families are left to grieve the people they love most,” he added.
Congratulating Chandigarh University researchers for getting the patent for attendance based health monitoring system, Deepinder Singh Sandhu, Senior Managing Director, Chandigarh University said, “This achievement reflects the strong research and innovation eco-system at Chandigarh University to support research excellence and intellectual property generation for advancement of technology. Chandigarh University’s students and faculty members have filed more than 6,100 patents out of which 5800 patents have been published and 260 patents have been granted. Chandigarh University is ranked number one as a single institution in India for filing highest number of patents. CU’s 44 faculty members featured in Stanford University–Elsevier list of the world’s top 2% scientists. The range of research activities at Chandigarh University is wide-ranging and profound. University scholars conduct research in practically every domain, and pursue to develop human knowledge through investigation, invention, and understanding. Chandigarh University is recognized as Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by the Union Ministry of Science and Technology’s Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) for promoting and advancing the research. To amplify research, Chandigarh University has dedicated an annual budget of Rs 15 Crore for research and has also 60 Research Centres and 15 Centres of Excellence. CU’s research initiatives are further strengthened by 67 projects funded by the corporate sector and government bodies with Rs 90 Crore,”.
