Much of the innovation in the power generation and energy sectors revolves around efficiency, with companies working to ensure a reliable and resilient supply of electricity while also reducing emissions.
Those efficiency measures also include technologies to enhance sustainability, including recycling, cleaner fuels, and providing alternative modes of electric power. Companies such as Clean Energy Technologies (CETY), headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, have a goal to deliver power with zero emissions and at low cost, realizing the potential of heat and biomass among other solutions.
Kam Mahdi, CEO of CETY, recently talked with POWER about the group’s products and services and how they align with clean energy goals of various sectors, including agriculture, where he said there’s a “paradigm shift in the way we perceive and harness the energy potential of American farms.” Mahdi has led CETY since the company was founded in September 2015. He previously served as CEO of Probe Maufacturing, an electronics manufacturing and product development accelerator. His idea of a product development accelerator led his group to acquire General Electric Heat Recovery Solutions, which has supported CETY’s place in the renewable and energy efficiency markets.

Mahdi discussed how the company’s Clean Cycle generator enables the recovery of waste heat for conversion into electricity, and how CETY is transforming waste products from various industries—including agriculture, manufacturing, and wastewater treatment—into electricity and products such as biochar, an important part of regenerative agriculture. The company continues to develop technologies for heat recovery and waste-to-energy on a global level.
