ReductionTech Submits $2.3 Million in Federal Climate Funding Applications to Environment and Climate Change Canada, Advancing Canada’s Most Promising Nature-Based Atmospheric Restoration Technology

Kamloops, British Columbia — July 7, 2026 — ReductionTechs Society for Hydroxyl Research and Environmental Protection Applications and its commercial affiliate ReductionTech Inc. today announced the formal submission of two major federal funding applications to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), totalling $2.3 million in requested support. The submissions mark a pivotal milestone in the organization’s mission to deploy the world’s first commercially scalable hydroxyl radical atmospheric restoration platform across Canada and beyond.

The two applications — submitted under the Climate Action and Awareness Fund (CAAF) Research and Analysis Stream and the Canada Environmental Science Opportunity (CESO) Nature-Based Climate Solutions stream — represent the most significant funding milestone in the company’s history and signal the beginning of a new chapter of accelerated scientific validation, public engagement, and commercial deployment.

The Applications at a Glance

ECCC CAAF – Research and Analysis Stream Submitted: July 5, 2026|Requested: $2,000,000 over 5 years

The CAAF application, titled “Hydroxyl Radical Atmospheric Remediation for Climate Action: Awareness, Research, and Community Engagement Initiative,” proposes a national, five-year science communication and climate education program. The initiative will deliver 20 bilingual community workshops across six provinces, two national symposia, bilingual curriculum modules for Grades 9 to 12 and post-secondary institutions, and the permanent National Hydroxyl Climate Action Toolkit. The program is designed to address a critical gap in Canada’s climate literacy landscape: the near-total absence of hydroxyl radical (OH•) science from public education, despite the fact that OH• is the atmosphere’s primary natural cleansing agent.

ECCC CESO – Stream 2, Theme 2A: Nature-Based Climate Solutions Submitted: July 6, 2026| Requested: $300,000 over 3 years

The CESO application, titled “Harnessing Nature’s Atmospheric Detergent: Characterizing and Enhancing Tropospheric Hydroxyl Radical (OH•) Capacity as a Nature-Based Climate Solution for Greenhouse Gas Reduction in Canada,” proposes a three-year field research program at three Canadian boreal and wetland pilot sites in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario. The research will characterize baseline atmospheric OH• concentrations, demonstrate the efficacy of ReductionTech’s catalytic Hydroxyl Emitter substrate in enhancing ambient OH• production, and quantify downstream greenhouse gas reduction co-benefits targeting a statistically significant 15 to 20 percent OH• enhancement above baseline by Month 30. The project integrates Indigenous co-development partnerships with the Lheidli T’enneh, Sayisi Dene, York Factory, and Attawapiskat First Nations, embedding Traditional Ecological Knowledge into site selection and monitoring.

The Science Behind the Technology

The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is widely recognized in atmospheric science as “the detergent of the atmosphere.” Formed naturally through the photodissociation of tropospheric ozone in the presence of water vapour and sunlight, OH• is responsible for initiating the oxidative breakdown of methane, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other short-lived climate pollutants. The critical challenge facing the planet today is that current tropospheric OH• concentrations are operating at approximately 1/52nd of the theoretical oxidative throughput required to efficiently neutralize the accumulated burden of methane and short-lived climate pollutants under present anthropogenic loading conditions, a “52× oxidative deficit” that the atmosphere cannot self-correct.

ReductionTech’s Hydroxyl Emitter addresses this deficit directly. The system is a ceramic solid-state fuel cell that generates approximately 10¹² OH• radicals per second using exclusively naturally present water vapour, ambient ozone, and solar energy as inputs. No new chemical species are introduced into the environment, and no persistent byproducts are generated. The companion CO₂ Crusher system converts captured carbon dioxide into high-value tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) and high-purity graphite powder (i.e., materials with significant commercial applications in advanced manufacturing and electronics) creating a revenue-positive byproduct stream from atmospheric remediation. The AtmoSync MRV platform provides AI-enhanced, real-time Measurement, Reporting, and Verification of all atmospheric interventions, enabling regulatory-grade carbon credit verification and compliance reporting.

Strategic Direction: From Laboratory to Commercial Scale

Dr. Mel Gabriel, CEO and Interim CFO of ReductionTech Inc. and RT Hydroxyl Society, stated:

“These two submissions represent the culmination of years of foundational scientific work by our Founder and President, Viva Cundliffe, and the beginning of a new era of commercial and scientific execution. The CAAF and CESO applications are not just funding requests. They are a declaration to the Government of Canada, to the scientific community, and to the investment world that ReductionTech has a credible, validated, and deployable solution to one of the most urgent challenges of our time: restoring the atmosphere’s natural capacity to clean itself. We are building the lowest-cost carbon removal platform on Earth, and we are doing it in Canada.”

Viva Cundliffe, Founder and President of ReductionTechs Society and inventor of the Hydroxyl Emitter and CO₂ Crusher systems, added:

“The hydroxyl radical is nature’s answer to atmospheric pollution. It has been doing this work for billions of years. Our technology does not fight nature. It works with nature, amplifying a process that already exists and that the planet desperately needs more of. These federal applications are the bridge between the science we have proven in the laboratory and the national-scale impact we know this technology can deliver.”

ReductionTech’s commercial strategy is structured around four modular product lines: the ReductionUnit hardware platform for direct industrial deployment, the AtmoSync MRV and data platform as a Software-as-a-Service offering for carbon registries and ESG reporting, the RestoreSky Infrastructure-as-a-Service program for regional and national atmospheric restoration contracts, and an Oxidative Chemistry licensing and IP division for global industrial integration. This modular architecture allows the company to capture value across the entire climate remediation value chain while maintaining the scientific credibility of its non-profit Society structure for government and academic partnerships.

Ecosystem and Partners

ReductionTech’s submissions were made possible through a strong ecosystem of institutional partners, including Thompson Rivers University (TRU) as the primary academic partner providing independent peer-review oversight and AI-enhanced MRV development support; the Central Interior Business Accelerator (CIBA) supporting applied AI implementation and program management; Foresight Canada, Canada’s national cleantech accelerator, through which ReductionTech is enrolled in the Investment Readiness Program with access to more than 430 engaged investors; Alberta Innovates, engaged as a knowledge partner with a pathway to becoming a funding and hosting partner for the Alberta Phase 2 industrial deployment; and the Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC) for industry engagement and standards alignment.

The organization has also received global recognition for its innovation, including selection as an XPRIZE Carbon Removal Finalist in 2025, a Katerva Award Finalist in 2019, and a Coralus Scholarship recipient in 2025.

Announcement, May 12

NEW PARTNERSHIP With Thompson Rivers University, facillitated by the Central Interior Business Accelerator and funding by NSERC and MITACS.

We are moving into a possible two year engagement with the University as we bring the hydroxyl dispersal pilot plant online with AI enhancements. The challenge addressed by this project is the need for a scientifically rigorous, AI‑enhanced MRV system capable of quantifying the catalytic performance of hydroxyl‑based methane‑removal technologies under real atmospheric conditions. ReductionTech Inc. has developed two complementary hydroxyl technologies: (1) a hydroxyl emitter designed to accelerate methane oxidation in ambient air, and (2) the CO₂ Crusher, a system that leverages similar atmospheric‑chemistry principles to enhance CO₂ conversion pathways. Both technologies require a world‑class MRV framework to validate their catalytic performance, quantify their environmental impact, and support future regulatory acceptance. The proposed research will generate the first comprehensive dataset demonstrating whether the hydroxyl emitter achieves a catalytic enhancement factor of approximately five‑ to ten‑fold relative to natural atmospheric oxidation rates, and whether the CO₂ Crusher can benefit from the same MRV architecture and atmospheric‑chemistry insights.

The project’s primary objective is to develop, deploy, and validate an AI‑assisted MRV system capable of isolating chemical removal signals from meteorological noise, quantifying methane decay rates, and providing transparent, reproducible evidence of catalytic hydroxyl activity. This includes integrating multi‑sensor atmospheric measurements, real‑time data fusion, automated quality assurance and quality control, and uncertainty quantification. The anticipated outcome is a regulator‑ready MRV system that can support Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) protocol development, future carbon‑removal certification, and industrial deployment. The project will also generate new scientific knowledge in atmospheric chemistry, machine learning, and environmental sensing, while advancing Canada’s leadership in methane‑removal innovation.

This research is positioned at the forefront of global efforts to validate atmospheric methane‑removal technologies. While several international groups are exploring enhanced oxidation pathways, few have produced field‑validated MRV systems capable of quantifying catalytic performance under real‑world conditions. Existing approaches often rely on laboratory studies, simplified models, or limited field measurements that cannot isolate chemical removal from dispersion effects. The proposed project advances the state‑of‑the‑art by combining controlled field deployment, advanced sensing, and AI‑driven analysis to produce high‑confidence, real‑world evidence. The integration of TRU’s expertise in artificial intelligence and data science with ReductionTech’s atmospheric‑chemistry engineering creates a uniquely Canadian contribution to this emerging field.
