Clean World Ventures

What Clean World Ventures does

Clean World Ventures (CWV) is a privately held clean energy technology manufacturer headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. The company develops and sells modular, zero-carbon distributed systems that co-generate green hydrogen, clean electricity, aluminum hydroxide, and clean water by exploiting the exothermic aluminum-water oxidation/electrochemical reaction through its patented Modular ECG (Electrochemical Generation) core technology. CWV's modular configurations are designed for off-grid deployment and convert two waste inputs — wastewater and scrap aluminum — into four valuable outputs in a single integrated process, with the aluminum-water chemistry protected by 7 US patents held by CSO Dr. Lauren Sammes.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: hardware sales of modular ECG systems, engineering and design services for facility implementation, and potential technology licensing of the patented process. CWV sells through direct enterprise field sales to six vertical end-markets — Agriculture, Municipalities & Government, Desalination & Wastewater, Industrial Manufacturing, Energy & Transportation, and AI/Data Center — with pricing handled on a project-by-project basis and not publicly disclosed. The only named paying customer is the City of Lancaster, CA via a municipal contract award.

CWV operates with 11–50 employees and is led by founder/CEO Roy DiBenerdini, COO Anthony Sansone, CFO Nancy Parrillo, and CSO Dr. Lauren Sammes, supported by a board including former executives of National Grid, Qualcomm, GE Capital, and Accenture. In 2024 the company purchased a 32,000 SF Rhode Island headquarters for $3.4 million and engaged Benchmark Group for a California facility design. In April 2026 CWV entered a definitive business combination agreement with Nasdaq-listed SOBRsafe, under which CWV would own approximately 98% of the combined public company, supported by ~$5.5 million in committed pre-close financing expected to close in Q3 2026.

Core offering

Clean World Ventures designs, manufactures, and sells modular Electrochemical Generation (ECG) systems that use the exothermic aluminum-water oxidation reaction to convert wastewater and scrap aluminum into zero-carbon outputs: fuel-cell-grade green hydrogen, clean electricity, aluminum hydroxide/oxide co-product, and clean water. The company delivers its hardware as project-engineered solutions to municipalities, government agencies, and industrial manufacturers, complemented by custom engineering, design, and deployment services.

Product overview

Clean World Ventures operates as a zero-carbon green energy technology manufacturing company offering a unified platform based on its patented Modular ECG (Electrochemical Generation) Core Technology. This core technology platform transforms wastewater and scrap aluminum into clean energy through the exothermic aluminum-water oxidation reaction, cogenerating four primary outputs: Green Hydrogen, Clean Electricity, Aluminum Hydroxide/Oxide (co-product), and Clean Water. The company provides industry-specific solutions across six sectors—Agriculture, Municipalities & Government, Desalination & Wastewater, Industrial Manufacturing, Energy & Transportation, and AI/Data Center—tailoring its modular systems to meet unique sustainability requirements while achieving zero carbon emissions and net-zero grid reliance.
