SOBRsafe Inc. (NASDAQ: SOBR) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Clean World Ventures Inc. (CWV) for a proposed business combination. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, pending approvals and financing. Upon closing, the combined company will operate under the Clean World Ventures name, with CWV expected to own approximately 98% of the entity.
The business combination aims to advance scalable, zero-carbon distributed energy systems that leverage wastewater and scrap aluminum feedstock. This focus on sustainable energy aligns with growing global demand for clean energy solutions and could have significant implications for the renewable energy industry by introducing a novel approach to energy generation from waste materials.
Meanwhile, SOBRsafe's alcohol detection business is expected to continue operating independently as the company evaluates monetization opportunities. SOBRsafe's technology is based on advanced transdermal (touch-based) detection, which detects and reports in real-time the presence of alcohol as emitted through a user's skin, without requiring breath, blood, or urine samples. This technology serves the behavioral health, family law, and consumer markets, as well as licensing and integration applications.
The transaction represents a strategic shift for SOBRsafe, allowing it to participate in the growing zero-carbon energy sector while retaining its core alcohol detection business. For investors, the deal offers exposure to both the established alcohol detection market and the emerging clean energy space. The combined entity's focus on scalable, zero-carbon systems could position it to capitalize on increasing regulatory and societal emphasis on reducing carbon emissions.
The definitive agreement marks a significant milestone for both companies. For Clean World Ventures, accessing public markets through this combination provides a platform to accelerate its energy technology development. For SOBRsafe shareholders, the transaction may unlock value through the spin-off of a business with high growth potential.

Investors and industry observers will be watching closely as the transaction progresses, given its potential impact on both the alcohol detection and clean energy sectors.
