Clean Energy Technologies Inc. (CETY) has confirmed the completion of its delivery of a heat recovery system to Sagacity, a move that finalizes a key component of an agreement between the two companies. This project’s completion, which included the provision of Clean Cycle II Organic Rankine Cycle units, various system components, and ongoing engineering support, represents a step forward in the application, and delivery, of waste heat recovery technology. The delivery is part of a contract that was originally announced on April 23, 2025.

The initial agreement between CETY and Sagacity also involved the sale of CETY’s 140 kW magnetic bearing ORC heat recovery solutions. This foundational project sets the groundwork for a continued partnership, with the two firms collaborating on the development of a next-generation 350 kW ORC system. The progression of this relationship and the successful delivery of the current system highlight the viability of CETY’s technology in converting unused thermal energy into usable electricity. Such advancements are particularly relevant to the biochar sector, where efficient energy management is crucial. Pyrolysis, the thermal conversion process used to produce biochar, generates significant amounts of heat. The capture and reuse of this waste heat can substantially improve the overall energy balance of a biochar production facility, reducing operational costs and enhancing the sustainability profile of the entire process.

Kam Mahdi, CEO of CETY, noted that the project underscores the strength of their ORC technology and positions both companies for expansion into larger industrial and commercial markets. This collaboration demonstrates how innovative technological solutions can enhance efficiency and reduce waste in energy-intensive industries. The application of CETY’s ORC technology extends to a range of industries beyond biomass, including oil and gas and data centers, illustrating the broad potential of converting low-grade waste heat into a valuable resource. As the biochar industry continues to mature, adopting similar closed-loop energy systems will be essential for scaling production sustainably and economically.
