CETY Launches HTAP™ Platform for Anaerobic Digestion Facilities to Increase RNG Production and Convert Digestate into Biochar
Rhea-AI Summary
Clean Energy Technologies (Nasdaq: CETY) launched an HTAP™ platform for integration with anaerobic digestion (AD) and renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities to convert hard-to-digest biomass and digestate into additional RNG and carbon-rich biochar.
Key metrics: a single HTAP™ unit producing 1,500 Nm³/hour syngas can support ~13 MMBtu/hour of RNG equivalent; HTAP™ can convert digestate to support 1.3–1.6 MW onsite power or up to 8 MMBtu/hour supplementary RNG. The company estimates the combined platform could generate >$3 million/year incremental RNG value per commercial installation, before biochar value and avoided digestate costs, with outcomes dependent on feedstock, scale, markets, and regulatory approvals.
Positive
- 1,500 Nm³/hour syngas => ~13 MMBtu/hour RNG equivalent
- Supports up to 1.3–1.6 MW onsite power or up to 8 MMBtu/hour supplementary RNG
- Estimated >$3 million/year incremental RNG value per commercial installation (pre-biochar)
Negative
- Incremental revenue estimate depends on feedstock, design scale, regional markets, and regulatory approvals
- Biochar commercial value contingent on testing and certification before market eligibility
- Digestate contains >55% unprocessed volatile solids, creating handling costs and variability in outcomes

Peers on Argus
CETY fell 10.28% while peers showed mixed moves (e.g., LASE up 7.41%, INLF up 5.78%, SPPL down 2.95%, CVV down 0.84%), indicating stock-specific dynamics rather than a coordinated sector move.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 25 | Storage project win | Positive | +116.8% | Award of largest BESS project to date with $10M contract value. |
| Nov 05 | Crypto power launch | Positive | -2.9% | Launch of mobile modular power and cryptomining solution with METIS. |
| Nov 04 | AI data center plan | Positive | -27.8% | Announcement of intent to develop energy solutions for AI data centers. |
| Nov 03 | Geothermal partnership | Positive | -6.2% | Strategic collaboration to commercialize DeepFyre geothermal power systems. |
| Oct 23 | Nasdaq compliance | Positive | +6.5% | Regained compliance with Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. |
Large contract and compliance wins saw strong or positive reactions, while strategic/vision announcements often coincided with negative price moves.
Over the last few months, CETY reported several strategic milestones, including a $10 million BESS project in New York on Nov 25, 2025 that drove a 116.82% move, and regaining Nasdaq bid-price compliance noted on Oct 23, 2025. Other thematic releases on AI data centers, crypto power solutions, and a geothermal collaboration saw negative reactions. This announcement adds another technology/platform launch, extending CETY’s waste-to-energy and RNG narrative alongside recent storage and geothermal initiatives.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An amended S-3 shelf filed on Aug 21, 2025 registers up to $70,000,000 of securities plus a $25,000,000 sales agreement prospectus, providing significant capacity for future capital raises once effective, alongside disclosed PRC regulatory risks.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement introduces CETY’s HTAP™ platform as an add‑on to anaerobic digestion and RNG facilities, targeting hard‑to‑digest biomass and digestate to unlock additional energy and biochar value, with cited RNG pricing of $25–$35 per MMBtu and potential value above $3 million per year per installation. Against a backdrop of recent project wins, going‑concern language, and an active $70,000,000 shelf, investors may focus on commercialization pace, contract flow, and funding structure for deployments.

IRVINE, CA., Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CETY) (“CETY” or the “Company”), a clean energy technology company delivering scalable solutions in power generation, storage, waste-to-energy, and heat-to-power, today announced a dedicated HTAP™ based platform designed for integration with existing and planned anaerobic digestion (AD) and renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities. The solution enables AD operators to convert hard-to-digest biomass and AD digestate into additional renewable energy and carbon-rich biochar, improving the overall efficiency and economics of RNG production.
Many AD plants face biogas-output limitations due to the low biodegradability of certain organic feedstocks. CETY’s High Temperature Ablative Pyrolysis (HTAP™) technology thermochemically converts forestry residues, agricultural waste, and other non-food biomass inputs into clean syngas. When paired with anaerobic or catalytic methanation systems, this syngas can be upgraded to pipeline-quality RNG.
A single HTAP™ unit producing 1,500 Nm³/hour of syngas can support production equivalent to approximately 13 MMBtu/hour of additional RNG, placing one HTAP™ system between a medium- and large-scale AD facility in terms of incremental RNG output.
The platform also addresses a growing industry challenge: digestate management. Digestate can contain more than
Alexander Skorokhodov, Director of Technology at CETY, stated:
“Anaerobic digestion is a proven pathway for renewable gas, but digestibility limits and digestate handling costs restrict its full potential.” HTAP™ unlocks the remaining energy in hard-to-digest biomass and converts digestate into clean energy and biochar. This enables AD operators to potentially expand RNG output while improving environmental and economic performance.”
With voluntary and compliance RNG markets ranging from
