HTC Purenergy (HTC) is an energy technology company headquartered in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.  HTC was incorporated in 1996 and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Venture Exchange) under the symbol “HTC”.

HTC’s business is the development, aggregation and commercialization of proprietary technologies, relating to carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, storage and hydrogen (H2) production utilizing CO2.  These technologies have been acquired, licensed, developed internally and developed in partnership with the University of Regina and The International Test Centre for CO2 Capture “ITC”, a leading centre of research for CO2 capture and storage.

The establishment of a specialized commercial entity focusing on “carbon clear” technologies was driven by:

• Rapidly expanding international efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change, through:
• CO2 capture and sequestration (e.g. permanent underground storage);
• Rising conventional energy (oil & gas) prices, which make CO2 a valuable commodity as an agent for enhanced hydrocarbon recovery (e.g. Enhanced Oil Recovery);
• The need to provide the market solutions derived from the aggregation of market leading, fully validated technologies that could be commercially sourced from a single point of contact. That contact being an organization that could engage in commercial service and technology licensing agreements with commercial accountabilities and sustainability. 
  

HTC’s services include:

• The provision of CO2 capture technology (including feasibility evaluation, process design/modelling, control systems and supply of proprietary solvents) to CO2 emitters, and identification and development of enhanced hydrocarbon recovery and sequestration opportunities for use of captured CO2;
• Facilitation and consulting to FEED engineering and EPC plant construction.

HTC Represents:

• Over 20 years of affiliated research, test and optimization operating experience of CO2 capture systems at the ITC at the University of Regina.
• Access to test facilities and data sets encapsulating the broad range of integrated variables that determine the overall effectiveness and efficiency of a CO2 capture process.  
• Validation of existing and emerging CO2 separation technologies, which have been and will continue to be evaluated at the International Test Centre for CO2 Capture at the University of Regina.
• Experienced resource and skills base, that supports all the key elements of CO2 Management, namely capture, sequestration, risk analysis, carbon auditing, post sequestration monitoring.
• Strategic advisory from an assembly of highly credentialed experts that have become better known as TEAM CO2, who operate globally and are largely the founding proponents of the new CO2 Management industry.
• Advanced modelling and simulation programs that provide the required preliminary technical and economic analysis for CO2 capture. Incorporating the provision of comparative pathways for the deployment, scaling and optimization of CO2 Management systems that manages upfront project risk.
• Customized, proprietary specification schedules that provide a process systems platform equipped for high performance optimization that can be benchmarked to industry standards.
• Aggregation of performance data and operational benchmarking that provides post-commissioning services that can continue to improve efficiency tolerances.  
• With HTC’s development facilities being located at the University of Regina’s ITC, HTC is provided through its long-standing collaborative relationship with the University access to some of the most advanced research facilities in the world in the area of CO2 capture, modelling, design integration and H2 production. 
• Overall, HTC’s in-house collaborative research team, covering CO2 and related technologies, is lead by 10 senior professors, PhD researchers.  In addition to the facilities on-site in Regina, there is an extensive network of additional skills and resources that can be accessed through a range of collaborative agreements that HTC and the University of Regina has established.
