CALGARY, Alberta, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questor Technology Inc. (“Questor” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: QST) today announced that the National Research Council of Canada (“NRC”) has awarded the Company $1.9 million to complete development and launch commercialization of Questor’s 1500kW Rankine Cycle (“ORC”) Heat-to-Power Generation System.
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (“SDTC”) cleantech funding is now delivered by the National Research Council of Canada (“NRC”) through its NRC IRAP program.
The NRC grant arrives at a pivotal moment, as global operators face mounting pressure to abate methane emissions, retire open flares, and generate on-site power without adding carbon. Questor’s 1500kW ORC converts both high- and low-temperature waste heat into dispatchable electricity that can be consumed on-site or exported to the grid, and is engineered as the natural companion to the Company’s Q-Series Thermal Oxidizers. Together, the integrated thermal oxidizer-plus-ORC package delivers what operators have been asking for: near-zero methane and GHG emissions paired with a new, quantifiable revenue stream from avoided power purchases, turning what was once a regulatory cost centre into a margin-positive asset.
As jurisdictions worldwide adopt zero-routine-flaring deadlines, demand for ISO-certified clean combustion with integrated power recovery is moving from pilot scale to portfolio scale. Questor expects to complete testing of the 1500kW prototype in the second quarter of 2026, with commercial rollout to follow later this year. This positions the Company to meet that demand with the only Canadian-engineered solution at this capacity.
