| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.

| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain the majority of our cash accounts at JP Morgan Chase bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000, (which we may exceed from time to time) per commercial bank. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

| Credit losses | Credit losses
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The adoption of the credit loss accounting standard has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2023.
The Company’s account receivables, prepayments, other receivables and other current assets in the balance sheet are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. As the Company has limited customers and debtors, the Company uses the loss-rate method to evaluates the expected credit losses on an individual basis. When establishing the loss rate, the Company makes the assessment on various factors, including historical experience, creditworthiness of customers and debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected.
Expected credit losses are recorded as allowance for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. In the event the Company recovers amount that is previously reserved for, the Company will reduce the specific allowance for credit losses.

| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable
Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us. Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts. Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts receivable of $ and $. Our policy for reserves for our long-term financing receivables is determined on a contract-by-contract basis and considers the length of the financing arrangement. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable long-term financing receivables of $ and $.
One customer accounted for 100% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026. Our trade accounts receivable primarily represent unsecured balances related to projects that are in various stages of completion, commissioning, or pending commercial operation. The outstanding receivables primarily relate to a project that is in the final permitting stage and is awaiting a Notice to Proceed. Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, project financing is expected to become available, which management believes will support the customer’s ability to satisfy the outstanding receivable. Based on these facts and circumstances, management believes the accounts receivable are collectible.

| Contract Assets | Contract Assets
Contract assets primarily represent amounts due from one customer for contractual rights to consideration that are conditioned on the achievement of specified project milestones. Included in the contract asset balance is a long-term receivable that is recorded at its present value using an appropriate discount rate. The carrying amount reflects a present value discount of approximately $397,692 and includes accrued interest income of approximately $222,087 recognized using the effective interest method. Contract assets totaled $677,918 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

| Inventory | Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of March 31, 2026 we had a reserve of $576,704 as compared to a reserve of $576,704 as of December 31, 2025.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:
Furniture and fixtures 3 to 5 years
Equipment 5 to 10 years

| Long – Lived Assets | Long – Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, and operating lease right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. There is no impairment of long-lived assets for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”).
Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time
FASB ASC 606-10-25-27 through 25-29, 25-36 through 25-37, 55-5 through 55-10
An entity transfers control of a good or service over time and satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time if one of the following criteria is met:
a. The customer receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-55-5 through 55-6). b. The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in process) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-55-7). c. The entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity (see FASB ASC 606-10-25-28), and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-25-29).
Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time
FASB ASC 606-10-25-30
If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset and the entity satisfies a performance obligation, the entity should consider the guidance on control in FASB ASC 606-10-25-23 through 25-26. In addition, it should consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. The entity has a present right to payment for the asset b. The customer has legal title to the asset c. The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset d. The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset e. The customer has accepted the asset
The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. In addition, a) the company also does not have an alternative use for the asset if the customer were to cancel the contract, and b) has a fully enforceable right to receive payment for work performed (i.e., customers are required to pay as various milestones and/or timeframes are met)
The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle for our HRS and CETY Europe Divisions:
The following steps are applied to our legacy engineering and manufacturing division:
The following step is applied to our CETY HK business unit:
A principal obtains control over any one of the following (ASC 606-10-55-37A):
If the entity obtains control over one of the above before the good or service is transferred to a customer, the entity could be considered a principal.
Additionally, the above five steps are applied to achieve core principle for our CETY Renewables Division:
Because the CETY Renewables division is presently engaged in the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of biomass power facilities, CETY Renewables has developed a process of executing EPC Agreements with customers for this work. In contracting these engagements, CETY Renewables recognizes revenue according to accounting standards in accordance with ASC 606.
In recognizing this revenue, CETY Renewables first identifies the relevant contract with its customer according to 606-10-25-1.
Secondly, CETY identifies the performance obligations of the Parties in performance of the EPC Agreement in accordance with 606-10-25-14. At contract inception, CETY assesses the goods and services necessary to deliver the facility in accordance with its agreement with clients. The agreement specifically laid out all deliverables necessary to achieve the permitting, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
CETY also looks at 606-10-25-14(A). A bundle of goods or services is also present, in that CETY is delivering all work products associated with permitting, design, procurement, construction and commissioning of a commercially operable biomass power plant. A biomass power plant is a distinct bundle of goods or services, so the individual goods or services on their own do not lend themselves to a fully integrated or functional system.
CETY in accordance with 606-10-32-1, CETY reviews measurement of the performance obligations. There is no exclusion of any amount of the Contract Price due to constraints associated with 606-10-31-11 through 606-10-32-13.
In review of 606-10-32-2A, CETY did not exclude measurement from the measurement of the transaction price any taxes assessed by a government authority as no such taxes will be due.
In reviewing 606-10-32-3, CETY evaluated the nature, timing, and amount of consideration promised, and whether it impacts the estimate of the transaction price.
Finally, in identifying a single method of measuring progress for each performance obligation satisfied over time, in accordance with 606-10-25-32, CETY applies the methodology of 606-10-25-36. CETY adopted and implemented the input method for revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-33. The company adopts the input method for implementation. CETY recognizes revenue for performance obligations on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation per 606-10-55-20.
For CETY, the contracts with clients for the construction of biomass power plants are the basis for revenue recognition. In each separate EPC Agreement, the performance obligations include permitting, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the plant. All of these work products satisfy Section 606-10-25-27(b) as these work products create or enhance an asset under customer’s control. Upon delivery of the work product, the customer takes control of the work products and has full right and ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the assets. We recognize revenue over time, using timeline and milestone methods to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
During the complexity and duration of the biomass power plant construction projects, CETY will recognize revenue over time, consistent with the criteria for over-time recognition under ASC 606. This approach reflects the continuous transfer of documents, permits, and the equipment over to the customer, which is characteristic of long-term construction contracts.
We have a list of appropriate measures of progress: This is based on milestones achieved, among other measures.
Given the long-term nature of the projects, CETY regularly reviews and, if necessary, updates its estimates of progress towards completion, transaction price, and the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations.
Also, from time to time our contracts state that the customer is not obligated to pay a final payment until the units are commissioned, i.e. a final payment of 10%. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 we had $33,000 and $33,000 of deferred revenue, which is expected to be recognized in the second quarter of year 2026.
Also from time to time we require upfront deposits from our customers based on the contract. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had outstanding customer deposits of $811,877 and $759,611 respectively.

| Derivative liability | Derivative liability
A derivative is an instrument whose value is “derived” from an underlying instrument or index such as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial instrument with similar characteristics, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.
The Company does not invest in separable financial derivatives or engage in hedging transactions. However, the Company entered into certain debt financing transactions as disclosed in Note 9 containing certain conversion features that have resulted in the instruments being deemed derivatives. The Company evaluates such derivative instruments to properly classify such instruments within equity or as liabilities in the financial statements.
The classification of a derivative instrument is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.
Instruments classified as derivative liability is remeasured using the Black-Scholes model at each reporting period (or upon reclassification) and the change in fair value is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company had derivative liability of $721,678 and $493,308 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and convertible notes payable. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible notes payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

| Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
We have no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods. The accounts of the Company’s Chinese entities are maintained in RMB. The accounts of the Chinese entities were translated into USD in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statements of operations.
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 220-10, “Comprehensive Income (loss).” Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in additional paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.

| Net (Loss) per Common Share |
Basic (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At March 31, 2026, we had outstanding common shares of . Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025 were and respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had convertible notes, convertible into approximately of additional common shares and outstanding warrants of shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025 as they were considered anti-dilutive.

| Segment Disclosure | Segment Disclosure
FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company has four reportable segments: Clean Energy HRS (HRS), CETY Europe, CETY HK and engineering & manufacturing services division. The segments are determined based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics. Refer to note 1 for a description of the various product categories manufactured under each of these segments.
An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, other charges (income), net and interest and other, net.

| Leases | Leases
The Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases, or ASC 842, using the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment to be accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019, and accordingly, modified its policy on accounting for leases as stated below. As described under “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements,” below, the primary impact of adopting ASC 842 for the Company was the recognition in the consolidated balance sheet of certain lease-related assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms longer than 12 months.
The Company’s leases primarily consist of facility leases which are classified as operating leases. The Company assesses whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company recognizes a lease liability to make contractual payments under all leases with terms greater than twelve months and a corresponding right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the collateralized incremental borrowing rate since the implicit rate is unknown. Options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such an option. The right-of-use asset is initially measured as the contractual lease liability plus any initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments made, less any lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leased right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing as a long-lived asset at the asset-group level. The Company monitors its long-lived assets for indicators of impairment. As the Company’s leased right-of-use assets primarily relate to facility leases, early abandonment of all or part of facility as part of a restructuring plan is typically an indicator of impairment. If impairment indicators are present, the Company tests whether the carrying amount of the leased right-of-use asset is recoverable including consideration of sublease income, and if not recoverable, measures impairment loss for the right-of-use asset or asset group.

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
Federal Income taxes are not currently due since we have had losses since inception of Clean Energy Technologies.
On December 22, 2018 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company will compute its income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 using a Federal Tax Rate of 21% and an estimated state of California rate of 8.84%.
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5.
Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes.
As of December 31, 2025, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $41,339,494 and a deferred tax asset of $10,197,351 using the statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years. However, due to the uncertainty of future events we have booked valuation allowance of $(10,295,855). FASB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 2025 the Company did not take any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.
On February 13, 2018, the Company completed a financing transaction that resulted in a change in ownership under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) is subject to annual limitations. Management has considered these limitations in evaluating the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

| Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard enhances income tax disclosures by requiring more detailed information regarding the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires public business entities to provide additional disaggregated information regarding certain expense captions presented in the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270), which enhances interim financial reporting disclosures by improving the consistency and transparency of information provided in interim financial statements. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its interim financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Accounting Standards Codification Improvements, which includes various amendments intended to clarify, simplify, and improve existing accounting guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard and does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

| Deferred Stock Issuance Costs | Deferred Stock Issuance Costs
Deferred stock issuance costs represent amounts paid for legal, consulting, and other offering expenses in conjunction with the future raising of additional capital to be performed within one year. These costs are netted against additional paid-in capital as a cost of the stock issuance upon closing of the respective stock placement. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company capitalized $0 and $104,744, respectively, of deferred stock issuance costs. |
