  Clean Power Technogies, Inc.

  (Venture Capital & Private Equity industry)

  2009 — Present (less than a year)

  Clean Power Technologies aims to significantly reduce emissions from transport and utilities by introducing our steam hybrid system.
  
  Our steam hybrid system is based on our proprietary technology Clean Energy Storage And Recovery (CESAR). CESAR is able to recover otherwise wasted heat from combustion engine exhaust and cooling systems which is then utilised to generate high-pressure superheated steam. This energy is converted to rotational power by expansion through a vapour engine to drive auxiliary equipment or to supplement a vehicle's main power source.
  
  We can reduce fuel usage with an accompanying reduction in emissions.
