Company Description
Camber Energy, Inc. (traded under the symbol CEI) is described in its public communications as a growth‑oriented, diversified energy company. While its industry classification references crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, the company’s more recent disclosures emphasize energy and power solutions, clean energy technologies, and specialized intellectual property held through majority‑owned subsidiaries and licensing arrangements.
According to multiple company press releases, Camber operates primarily through its wholly‑owned subsidiary Viking Energy Group, Inc. and other majority‑owned entities. Through these interests, Camber states that it provides custom energy and power solutions to commercial and industrial clients in North America, holds an exclusive license in Canada to a patented clean energy and carbon‑capture system, and has majority interests in entities that own intellectual property for electric transmission and distribution broken (open) conductor protection systems and a medical and bio‑hazard waste treatment system using ozone technology.
Business Focus and Operating Structure
Camber’s public descriptions highlight a portfolio that combines an established power‑solutions business with technology‑driven assets. Through subsidiaries, the company reports activity in:
- Power solutions for commercial and industrial clients in North America, including design, sale and service of power generation units and systems, as described in shareholder communications and subsidiary overviews.
- Clean energy and carbon‑capture technology, via an exclusive Canadian license and rights for multiple locations in the United States to a patented system developed by ESG Clean Energy, LLC. SEC filings and press releases note that this intellectual property covers bottoming‑cycle power systems and methods for capturing carbon dioxide from combustion exhaust streams.
- Wildfire‑mitigation and grid‑hardening technology, through majority‑owned subsidiaries that hold patents and patent applications for electric transmission and distribution broken‑conductor (open‑conductor) protection systems. Company news and an 8‑K filing describe patents directed to high‑sensitivity monitoring and trip‑signal systems for transmission and distribution lines.
- Medical and bio‑hazard waste treatment using ozone technology, via a majority‑owned subsidiary that owns a patented, ready‑for‑market waste treatment system. Company communications describe this as an alternative to traditional waste‑treatment methods.
Camber also reports a majority interest in Simson‑Maxwell Ltd., described in company news as a long‑standing participant in the power‑solutions business that manufactures and supplies power generation products, services and custom energy solutions. Simson‑Maxwell is referenced as a platform for power‑solutions projects and maintenance arrangements for commercial and industrial customers.
Energy and Power Solutions Activities
In its shareholder letter and project‑specific announcements, Camber emphasizes a power‑solutions division operating through Simson‑Maxwell Ltd. and related entities. Public disclosures describe Simson‑Maxwell as manufacturing and supplying power generation products and custom energy systems for commercial and industrial clients, and as designing and assembling electrical control equipment such as switchgear, synchronization and paralleling gear, distribution equipment, and power‑generation controls.
Company news also notes that Simson‑Maxwell manages pilot and service projects for large customers. For example, Camber announced a pilot project with a major telecom provider in Western Canada involving a hybrid generator system that uses lithium titanate oxide battery storage to support continuous connectivity at remote cell‑tower sites. The same disclosure states that Simson‑Maxwell services hundreds of power systems for that telecom provider and operates multiple branch locations to support maintenance arrangements and other customer needs.
Clean Energy and Carbon‑Capture Portfolio
Camber’s filings and press releases describe a significant focus on clean energy and carbon‑capture technology. Through Viking Energy Group, the company has licensed, on an exclusive basis in Canada and for multiple U.S. locations, a patented clean energy and carbon‑capture system from ESG Clean Energy, LLC. SEC filings enumerate a portfolio of patents and patent applications related to bottoming‑cycle power systems, carbon‑dioxide capture, and associated products such as distilled water and diesel exhaust fluid.
Company news reports that testing at ESG’s facility in Holyoke, Massachusetts indicated that the patented water‑removal technology can increase carbon capture per pound of adsorbent and, in a subsequent announcement, that ESG’s carbon‑capture system achieved capturing 100% of CO2 from a combustion exhaust stream. Camber’s disclosures state that its subsidiary holds the license to ESG’s intellectual property for defined territories, positioning the company to apply these technologies in power‑generation and emissions‑reduction contexts within those licensed regions.
Wildfire‑Mitigation and Grid‑Protection Technologies
Another core element of Camber’s portfolio is electric transmission and distribution broken‑conductor protection technology, which the company links to wildfire‑mitigation, public safety and grid resiliency. Press releases and an 8‑K filing describe patents and patent applications owned by majority‑owned subsidiaries, including Viking Protection Systems, LLC and Viking Distribution Solutions, LLC.
These patents address systems and methods for high‑sensitivity monitoring of transmission and distribution lines, detection of broken or open conductors and ground‑fault conditions, and rapid tripping of protective devices to de‑energize lines. Company communications state that this technology is designed to be integrated within existing grid‑protection systems, with the aim of reducing wildfire risk, improving reliability and enhancing public safety. Camber has also announced independent testing of its broken‑conductor protection technology for transmission systems, coordinated by a specialist engineering firm, which the company reports confirmed the efficacy of the patented approach.
In later news, Camber reported additional patents expanding coverage to distribution‑line applications, including feeder circuits, tap lines and distribution transformers. The company characterizes this expanded intellectual‑property portfolio as addressing both high‑voltage transmission lines and distribution‑line feeders, with a focus on wildfire‑risk mitigation and grid‑hardening solutions for utilities and original‑equipment manufacturers.
Medical and Bio‑Hazard Waste Treatment Using Ozone
Camber’s public disclosures also describe a medical and bio‑hazard waste treatment business operated through Viking Ozone Technology, LLC, a majority‑owned subsidiary. According to company news, this subsidiary owns intellectual property for a patented, ready‑for‑market waste‑treatment system that uses ozone technology. The system is presented as an alternative to incineration, chemical treatment, autoclave and heat‑based methods for regulated medical and bio‑hazardous waste.
Press releases explain that the ozone‑based system is designed to reduce the energy required to process waste and to support a cleaner and more sustainable approach to waste treatment. Camber has highlighted testing of its VKIN‑300 waste‑treatment unit, reporting that specialized testing indicated the unit meets the specifications of a French standard regarded by the company as one of the strictest standards for waste‑decontamination equipment. An 8‑K filing further notes that an independent laboratory report concluded that the VKIN‑300 waste pre‑treatment unit meets the relevant standard’s specifications, and that this report will be used in a formal certification process in France.
Corporate Transactions and Intellectual‑Property Expansion
Camber’s SEC filings and press releases also describe corporate and capital‑structure developments. An 8‑K filing details a transaction in which Viking Energy Group agreed to acquire a majority membership interest in Viking Distribution Solutions, LLC, an entity formed to hold intellectual property and intangible assets related to electric distribution ground‑fault prevention and broken‑conductor protection systems. The filing lists specific U.S. patents and applications assigned to Viking Distribution and notes that these assets complement patents held by Viking Protection Systems for transmission‑line applications.
Another 8‑K describes an amendment to an exclusive intellectual‑property license agreement with ESG Clean Energy and Scuderi Group, Inc., clarifying licensor roles and obligations under the carbon‑capture license. The filing reiterates the scope of patents and applications covered by the license, including systems for generating bottoming‑cycle power, capturing carbon dioxide and producing associated products.
In addition, a separate 8‑K notes that a holder of Camber’s Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock converted all such shares into common stock and confirmed that no further conversion‑related claims would be made. The company characterizes this as the first time in several years that no Series C Preferred Shares remained outstanding or subject to conversion obligations.
