Who is Nexera
Nexera Energy Inc. is a Calgary-based Alberta company whose shares trade publicly (TSX Venture Exchange: NGY). It is the operating partner in this deal: it funds the build, runs the Calgary plant, and owns the output.
Incorporated in Alberta in 1997, Nexera has operated as a junior oil and gas producer, with operations in South Texas and central Alberta: a public company with a long operating history in conventional energy.
In January 2026 Nexera publicly announced a Change of Business from oil and gas to end-of-life tire recycling using advanced pyrolysis, citing a North American waste-tire market of roughly $4.9B per year today, over $13B by 2033. A companion recapitalization converts substantially all debt to shares; a pre-FEED engineering study for the Calgary plant is complete, and the full revocation of its cease trade order is in progress.
For its new business Nexera needs proven technology, and it chose SENS: a licence, not a sale, with SENS building and exclusively maintaining every unit, and 7.5% of Nexera, post dilution, granted to SENS so both sides win when the operator wins.
Nexera runs the business. SENS supplies the technology.
Key economics
The deal delivers on the SENS goals
Each strategic priority is served by a mechanism in the agreements. Open a goal to see how.
01Launch our machineFirst deployment
Our first priority is the simplest one: get a commercial TiPs unit built, commissioned, and running in the field, not sitting in a report. A prototype that never ships proves nothing to a customer, a regulator, or an investor.
Nexera funds the build and commits to the first unit, and Machine 1 is supplied at cost (US$13.4M net) so the economics never stall it. Payment is structured across the build so SENS is funded to complete it, with title passing on Texas completion.
Calgary also keeps the launch close to home: with our team all here it just moves quickly, and those fast iteration cycles are what will support every other deal globally.
02Protect our IPOwnership retained
The technology, the Control Software, and the trade secrets are the company. Any structure that let them leak, or transfer with a sale, would give away the one thing SENS owns.
This is a licence, not a sale. SENS keeps ownership and runs every unit through its Engineered Controls: the Control Software and the Shroud, with remote monitoring and exclusive maintenance for the life of the machine. A competitor change-of-control clause (6.2A) blocks the licence from landing in a rival's hands.
The combined Control Software and Shroud is also protection we had not built yet, and were going to need no matter what to operate safely in countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, or across Africa. This deal pays for it and fast-tracks its development near our base of operations, where iteration cycles are fastest.
03Expand the marketUnlocks new markets
Expansion is a ladder, and Calgary is the first rung: launch Machine 1, work out the bugs, unlock the second machine, and scale the design from today's ~2 t/h unit toward the 20 t/h class machine the big projects need. A repeatable, priced product turns machines into a business line instead of one-off builds, with each build improving on our existing design.
Standardised per-unit pricing (US$20.7M) plus the recurring maintenance annuity make every additional unit a repeatable sale, and operating revenue funds the engineering improvements instead of another raise. A working Calgary plant is also the proof the international deals demand: partners need to see the machine running, and its output gives us the carbon for lab analysis so we can begin the engineered design of the power-plant play. We bring pure carbon. That is what unlocks the new markets: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mexico, South Africa, Botswana, and Hartford.
04Shorten the time to cashOperational dividends
Investors do not get paid by roadmaps. For the SENS board and everyone behind it, the question is how fast the technology starts producing distributions rather than consuming capital.
Calgary is the fastest path to operational dividends: Nexera funds the build, the machine sale and the annual service fee pay SENS from the first unit, and the 7.5% post-dilution equity adds upside on top.
