Addressing Cumulative Effects and Expediting Major Project Approval in Canada

Solution Developer

ProDelta Projects Inc.

Project Description

THE PROBLEM
Since 2015, Canada's oil and gas sector faces mounting regulatory challenges deterring investment:

Bill C-69 major project approvals
Dormancy and liability mandates
Yahey vs BC court decision
Alberta Caribou Sub-regional Plans
BC Watershed Security Strategy (Oct 2025)

THE SOLUTION: GENESIS LLM
ProDelta developed Genesis LLM - Canada's first AI Large Land Model. Think ChatGPT for land management - transforming how industry addresses current and emerging environmental regulations.
Key Capabilities:

20+ environmental analytics with continuous updates
Scalable across Canada and globally
Real-time monitoring: vegetation composition/health, canopy height, soil organic matter, wildlife occupancy (species at risk), fish habitat

TWO CORE APPLICATIONS
1. CUMULATIVE EFFECTS MANAGEMENT
Supports BC Watershed Security and Alberta Caribou Plans by:

Identifying and monitoring natural regrowth
Prioritizing historical footprint restoration by ecological value
Tracking restoration technique effectiveness
Optimizing prescription planning
Supports AER Conditional Adjustment of Reclamation Liability

2. NEW PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Applies IFC guidance (avoid, minimize, mitigate, offset). Genesis LLM delivers in minutes to weeks what traditionally takes months to years:

Identify regulatory risks
Assess construction challenges
Generate cost estimates
Compare multiple route options
Prioritize offset requirements
Enable transparent First Nations engagement

MARKET OPPORTUNITY
ProDelta is engaged with major midstream proponents, oil sands and natural gas producers. Our market is anyone who disturbs land. With qualified professional shortages, Genesis LLM empowers teams to review portfolios holistically and prioritize resources for faster execution.

TECHNOLOGY READINESS
Genesis LLM 1.0 R&D is complete. November 2025 launch analyzing three route options for Alberta's new oil pipeline to Prince Rupert, with industry partners ready to review results.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Genesis LLM delivers beyond speed - it reduces development footprint and accelerates restoration. This increases carbon sinks while addressing First Nations concerns, creating a true win-win for environment and economy.

COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN
Nov 2025: Launch with major producers optimizing their programs
2026: Pay-as-you-go model opens market to all land development/restoration sectors

FUNDING REQUEST
ProDelta bootstrapped development through engineering, environmental consulting and surveying expertise. Seeking $3M to scale technology and develop new training models for further cost reductions.

TEAM
20+ years managing large-scale environmental programs
PhD wildlife/data scientists
Remote sensing experts
Staff who declined lead engineer roles at ChatGPT

CRIN ALIGNMENT
Reduces environmental footprint: Faster restoration execution with landscape-level understanding
Improves competitiveness: Lower restoration costs, faster approvals
Export potential: Model designed globally - proposals active in Bahamas
Works with all natural and renewable resources
