"We are very happy with what we have accomplished in the past year," said Jim Deller, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ClearSign.

Additionally, we are continuing to develop our collaborative working relationship with Zeeco following our announcement late last year that we engaged their sales and marketing organizations. We are also continuously enhancing and innovating our product offerings to both expand our scope and grow our total serviceable market, with an additional focus on diversifying the value our products provide to beyond providing low-NOx emissions. Some of these innovations include the hydrogen burner, the M-Series burners, advanced flares and thermal oxidizers and our improvements to ClearSign Eye sensor. We believe we have a healthy project and proposal pipeline and expect that to grow during 2025. We are very optimistic about our achievements and how they will impact ClearSign in the coming years."
