Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (CETY) has executed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Hoppy Power Ltd. to evaluate and advance the deployment of CETY's High Temperature Ablative Pyrolysis (HTAP) technology for waste-to-energy applications in Westlock, Alberta. This initiative represents a step toward near-term deployment and initial commercialization, with defined milestones in 2026 expected to include engineering validation, permitting progression, and advancement toward definitive agreements.

Why it matters

The proposed modular system is expected to generate up to 2 MW of power per unit, with the ability to process up to 12,000 tons per year of biomass and waste-derived feedstock, supporting distributed deployment across industrial and municipal environments. This project serves as an initial demonstration of a scalable deployment model, positioning CETY's platform as a repeatable solution across multiple markets.

The details

Under the LOI, CETY will conduct technical and commercial evaluations, including feedstock analysis, system integration studies, and preliminary engineering design. The Company also expects to support pilot deployment activities at the Westlock site, including provision and operation of its HTAP equipment during the initial validation phase. Key near-term milestones include completion of engineering validation, confirmation of feedstock supply, permitting progression, and progress toward definitive agreements.

  • The LOI was executed on March 30, 2026.
  • CETY and Hoppy Power will engage with industry participants at the upcoming International Biomass Conference & Expo in Nashville, Tennessee, from March 31 through April 2, 2026.

What they’re saying

“This collaboration represents a meaningful step toward commercialization of our HTAP TM technology through an initial field deployment. Advancing toward a first deployment reflects our ability to answer growing demand for scalable, distributed waste-to-energy solutions. We believe this model has the potential to be replicated as we continue to convert waste streams into valuable energy infrastructure.”

— Kam Mahdi, Chief Executive Officer of CETY

What’s next

The advancement of this project is subject to a number of factors, including technical validation, feedstock availability, securing required permits and regulatory approvals, access to capital, and execution of definitive agreements between the parties. In addition, scaling from pilot deployment to broader commercial rollout will require continued demonstration of system performance, economic viability, and market demand.

The takeaway

This collaboration between CETY and Hoppy Power represents a significant step forward in the commercialization of CETY's waste-to-energy technology, with the potential to address growing demand for scalable, distributed renewable energy solutions that convert waste streams into valuable energy infrastructure.
