IRVINE, CA, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (“CETY” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CETY), together with Vermont Renewable Gas, LLC (“VRG”), today announced another milestone in the ongoing regulatory review process for the proposed 2.2 MW Lyndon Renewable Gas Project in Lyndon, Vermont.

On May 15, 2026, the Vermont Department of Public Service submitted prefiled testimony in support of the Project’s compliance with the “Orderly Development of the Region” criteria under 30 V.S.A. §248(b)(1). The testimony concluded that the Project “will not unduly interfere with the orderly development of the region” and further noted that regional and municipal planning documents support the type of industrial and renewable energy development that the Project will provide. The testimony highlighted that:

  • the Project area does not contain identified land conservation conflicts,
  • no regional development limitations were identified,
  • the facility is to be sited in a permitted industrial park,
  • and the Project is aligned with the Northeast Kingdom Regional Plan and local planning objectives.

“The Vermont Department of Public Services testimony is another key step forward for the VRG renewable energy platform, following the permitting, engineering, environmental review, and regional coordination that has taken place throughout the project development and permitting process” said Kam Mahdi, CEO of CETY.

Mr. Mahdi noted that the Project has continued to progress through environmental and regulatory review, including prior permitting milestones involving the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and Vermont Agency of Agriculture.

The Lyndon Project will utilize CETY’s High Temperature Ablative Pyrolysis (“HTAP”) and zero emission waste heat to power platform to convert biomass feedstock into renewable syngas, renewable power, and biochar products while supporting regional renewable energy and waste-diversion initiatives.

CETY anticipates that the VRG project can be a foundational step toward broader waste-diversion and waste-to-energy infrastructure strategies focused on low-value, underutilized biomass feedstocks. This includes forestry residue, agricultural waste, and municipal green waste streams that are often not suited for traditional anaerobic digestion facilities. The Company believes these solutions could also support distributed renewable power generation applications in rural communities and future data center infrastructure requirements.
