NorthX Climate Tech has committed $2.2 million in follow-on funding to three British Columbia companies developing wildfire technologies. The recipients—CRWN.ai, Nova, and Skyward Wildfire Technologies—are advancing solutions for early detection, monitoring, and prevention. CRWN.ai focuses on power line risk detection, Nova provides AI-driven wildfire intelligence, and Skyward targets lightning-caused ignitions.

NorthX said the investments aim to scale field-tested technologies as wildfire risks increase. Since 2021, the organization has invested more than $50 million in climate innovation projects. Officials emphasized the importance of deploying proven tools to mitigate growing environmental and infrastructure threats.

NorthX Climate Tech is expanding its support for industrial decarbonization in British Columbia, announcing $1 million in non-dilutive funding for Vertogen Technologies and Rockburst Technology. The investments target emissions-heavy sectors such as waste, mining, and heavy industry. Vertogen aims to cut biogas production timelines by up to 90%, reducing processing from more than 20 days to less than two.

Rockburst’s CoreBurst platform uses pressurized CO₂ to fracture rock, potentially halving mining energy use while storing carbon permanently. NorthX has invested $46 million across 74 projects, unlocking significant private capital. Officials say early investment accelerates BC’s clean-economy growth.
