Clean Energy Technologies
Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. designs and markets waste heat recovery and clean energy generation systems, operating under the brand name Clean Cycle. The company's core technology captures waste heat from industrial processes and converts it into electricity without additional fuel consumption, addressing both energy cost reduction and emissions compliance for end users. The firm deploys its Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology across manufacturing facilities, biogas operations, and distributed generation sites. Asset classes include renewable natural gas, waste-to-energy conversion, and combined heat and power systems. Geographic focus has spanned North America and select Asian markets, including Thailand, where the company previously delivered multiple Clean Cycle units to biogas operators. Projects reported via public filings include systems sold to industrial food processors and wastewater treatment facilities. As a publicly traded company on the OTC market, the firm reports its financial performance and operational metrics through SEC filings. The company has operated with a small team of engineers and business development professionals; public record indicates fewer than a dozen employees historically, though no current headcount has been disclosed. In recent years the firm expanded its scope through a merger with Vermont-based Green River Hydro, a small-scale hydroelectric operator, signalling a move into direct project ownership in addition to equipment sales. Structurally, the firm differs from most clean energy startups by pairing a legacy waste-heat manufacturing business with a growing portfolio of operating renewable energy assets. This hybrid posture—equipment vendor plus project owner—creates a vertically integrated model uncommon among microcap clean energy companies, where most players choose one path or the other.

Frequently asked questions
What is Clean Energy Technologies' core technology and how does it generate revenue?
The company manufactures Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems sold under the Clean Cycle brand. These units capture low-temperature waste heat from industrial exhaust or biogas engines and convert it to electricity. Revenue comes from equipment sales, service contracts, and, increasingly, from operating its own small renewable generation assets like hydroelectric and biogas facilities.
Is Clean Energy Technologies focused more on equipment manufacturing or project development?
Originally an equipment vendor, the firm shifted toward a hybrid model after its merger with Green River Hydro. It now manufactures and sells Clean Cycle ORC units to third parties while also directly owning and operating a portfolio of renewable energy projects—primarily small hydro and biogas generation—giving it both product revenue and recurring power sales income.
What markets does Clean Energy Technologies serve?
The firm has historically sold systems into North American industrial, municipal, and agricultural waste-to-energy applications, as well as Southeast Asian biogas markets—Thailand was an early international market where multiple Clean Cycle units were installed at biogas power plants. Its owned generation assets remain concentrated in the United States.
What investment stages or types of capital does the firm typically deploy?
The firm does not operate as a fund or deploy third-party capital. It is a publicly traded operating company that finances its equipment manufacturing and project acquisitions through equity raises, convertible debt, and project-level financing. It acquires and develops small renewable generation assets, often sub-5MW, through corporate M&A or organic build-out.
What is the firm's known environmental impact or compliance angle?
The core value proposition is dual: reducing industrial customers' electricity costs and lowering their carbon footprint by capturing energy that would otherwise be vented as waste heat. The firm frames this as compliance support for emissions regulations and energy efficiency mandates, though specific offset volumes or carbon credit revenue streams have not been publicly detailed in depth.
