CETY and Hoppy Power Target 2 MW Waste-to-Energy Deployment in Alberta

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (CETY), a Nasdaq-listed company headquartered in Irvine, California, announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with Hoppy Power Ltd. for the deployment of its proprietary High Temperature Ablative Pyrolysis (HTAP™) technology for waste-to-energy applications. The site of Westlock, Alberta, has been identified as the initial potential deployment location. The two parties are targeting commencement of project development activities in late 2026, subject to technical validation, regulatory permits, and execution of definitive agreements.

A modular system generating up to 2 MW per unit

The proposed modular system is designed to generate up to 2 MW of power per unit and process up to 12,000 tons per year of biomass and waste-derived feedstock. The platform would convert a wide range of waste streams — municipal solid waste, agricultural residues, and forestry byproducts — into high-quality syngas for power generation. CETY indicates it is targeting distributed deployment across industrial and municipal environments, leveraging the technology's feedstock flexibility.

The planned commercial model is expected to integrate multiple revenue streams: waste processing fees (tipping fees), on-site power generation, biochar production, and potential offtake or energy services agreements. The company notes that feedstock flexibility and modular deployment aim to position the platform within competitive cost-of-energy ranges relative to conventional biomass and distributed generation alternatives, according to figures provided by the company.

Technical evaluation and 2026 milestones

Under the LOI, CETY will conduct technical and commercial evaluations, including feedstock analysis, system integration studies, and preliminary engineering design. The company also plans to support pilot deployment activities at the Westlock site, with performance-based milestones tied to operational uptime. Key near-term milestones include completion of engineering validation, confirmation of feedstock supply, and permitting progression.

The Westlock site was selected based on favorable access to feedstock, existing infrastructure, and a supportive development environment, according to CETY. Project execution remains subject to several factors, including technical validation, feedstock availability, securing required permits, and access to capital. Scaling from pilot deployment to broader commercial rollout will require continued demonstration of system performance and economic viability, the company states.

A replicable deployment strategy

CETY presents this project as the initial demonstration of a scalable deployment model, with each modular unit designed to operate within approximately 2 MW of distributed generation. The configuration is aligned with distributed generation frameworks to enable more efficient interconnection and streamlined development pathways, according to the company. "This collaboration represents a meaningful step toward commercialization of our HTAP™ technology through an initial field deployment," said Kam Mahdi, Chief Executive Officer of CETY, adding that the company intends to replicate the model across multiple sites as part of a broader rollout strategy.
