Insights

Industrial energy systems analyst

Clean Energy Technologies deployed its Clean Cycle II™ ORC at a Fortune 100 plant in Martin, Tennessee (Oct. 03, 2025), a successful industrial waste-heat project.

This press release reports a completed installation of the Clean Cycle II™ Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system and names RPG Energy Group as the project lead for development and integration. The company describes the work as one of the first such industrial ORC projects in the U.S. and states the system converts plant waste heat into usable electricity.

What it means: the parties achieved a full deployment and integration at an industrial site and secured a high-profile customer designation as a "Fortune 100 company," which the release uses to signal technical viability and commercial relevance. Why it matters: a delivered project demonstrates product readiness, implementation experience, and a reference case that the companies can cite in future bids, reducing buyer uncertainty about on-site integration challenges.

The announcement is factual about the deployment, partners, and claimed benefits; no operational performance metrics, energy yield, timeline, contract value, or guarantees are disclosed in the release, so impact assessment rests on the successful delivery and high-profile customer association.

IRVINE, CA., Oct. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CETY) (the “Company” or “CETY”), a clean energy technology company delivering complete lifecycle solutions & technologies in power generation, storage, waste-to-energy, and heat-to-power, announced today that its Clean Cycle II^™ Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology has been deployed in Martin, Tennessee. The project, led by RPG Energy Group, was one of the most challenging — and rewarding — projects in its history: designing and delivering a waste heat recapture system using ORC technology for a Fortune 100 company. The project is one of the first of its kind in U.S. industrial manufacturing and sets a new benchmark for efficiency and corporate stewardship.

In today’s industrial landscape, corporations face relentless pressure to protect margins, reduce operating costs, and achieve environmental goals. One of the most overlooked threats to profitability is also one of the least visible: energy inefficiency. By bringing CETY’s technology to life in Martin, RPG proved that U.S. manufacturers can tackle these inefficiencies head-on and generate measurable returns.

Manufacturing plants release vast amounts of waste heat into the environment every day. For this Fortune 100 company , a recognized global leader in efficiency and sustainability, leaving that energy untapped was unacceptable. By working with CETY and RPG, they turned that liability into an opportunity — transforming waste heat into clean, usable electricity.

“The Martin project sets an example for industrial America. Waste heat recovery is complex, but it is achievable with the right partners, technology, and vision. RPG Energy Group is proud to have led this effort alongside CETY, paving the way for more projects that merge profitability, resilience, and sustainability,” said Jami Krynski, CEO of RPG.

“This installation demonstrates how industrial manufacturers can turn an untapped liability into a strategic advantage,” said Kam Mahdi, CEO of CETY. “Our ORC solution not only reduces energy costs but also advances sustainability commitments — and it does so in a way that is replicable across industrial America.”

Partnership with RPG Energy Group

CETY partnered with RPG Energy Group to integrate the ORC system. RPG provided project development and integration support, guiding the process from feasibility through delivery. Together, the companies overcame the integration challenges that have historically slowed ORC adoption in the U.S.

“We value RPG’s role in bringing their expertise in development and integration,” Mahdi added. “This project reflects the strength of our combined efforts and the importance of collaboration in advancing clean energy solutions.”
