Re:	Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.
	Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, filed on March 13, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as filed and as it may be subsequently amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of (i) up to $70,000,000 of the Company’s Securities (as defined below) to be issued from time-to-time by the Company in one or more offerings and in any combination of the Securities, and (ii) up to 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) that have been issued by the Company to the Selling Stockholder listed in the Registration Statement (the “Resale Shares”).

The prospectus (the “Prospectus”) that forms part of the Registration Statement provides that it will be supplemented by one or more prospectus supplements (each a “Prospectus Supplement”) in connection with the registration of Securities. As of the date hereof, the Prospectus will be supplemented by a Prospectus Supplement for the ATM Shares (as defined below) (the “ATM Shares Prospectus Supplement”).

The Registration Statement, including the Prospectus as supplemented from time-to-time by one or more Prospectus Supplements, covers the offering and issuance by the Company of:

	(a)	shares of Common Stock;
	(b)	warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”); and
	(c)	units comprised of any combination of Common Stock and Warrants (the “Units” and collectively with the Common Stock and the Warrants, the “Securities”).

The Securities may be issued and sold or delivered, from time-to-time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be determined in light of market conditions at the time of sale, and as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Registration Statement provides that the Securities may be offered separately or together, in separate series, in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be set forth in one or more Prospectus Supplements. The Securities are to be sold pursuant to a purchase, underwriting, subscription, placement agency, or similar agreement, which will be in substantially the forms previously filed or to be filed under a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Of the up to $70,000,000 of the Company’s Securities being registered, up to $25,000,000 of such securities (the “ATM Shares”) have been designated as shares of the Common Stock to be sold in accordance with the terms of Sales Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2023 (“Sales Agreement”), with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Sales Agent”) in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement.
