Clean Oil International, a Toronto-based clean-tech innovator, has successfully tested its AI-driven autonomous platform, marking a breakthrough in environmental remediation.
The test, conducted in Vancouver, showcased the capabilities of the solar-powered vessel, which operates without human oversight to clean oil spills with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
Founded by Babak Khodaparast, whose personal experience with an oil spill in his hometown inspired the company’s mission, Clean Oil has developed a solution that could revolutionize a multi-billion-dollar industry.
The vessel, built from recyclable materials and equipped with the company’s patented nano-filter technology, reduces oil contamination in water to just 3 parts per million (ppm), setting a new industry benchmark. It processes spills five times faster than conventional systems, cutting costs by more than 50%—a game-changer for industries and governments worldwide.
Beyond oil spill recovery, the platform serves multiple purposes, including fire suppression, hazardous waste collection, data gathering, security monitoring, and military applications. Its global potential has already drawn attention from major players, with strong interest from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE following Clean Oil’s high-profile appearances at LEAP 2025 in Riyadh, Web Summit 2025 in Qatar, and a showcase with Dubai’s Municipality.
“This isn’t just innovation; it’s a revolution born from necessity,” said Khodaparast. “We’re ready to partner with visionaries to heal the planet and power the future.”
Backed by multiple patents, ISO 29001 certification, and six prestigious medals from Switzerland, Turkey, South Korea, Thailand, and China, Clean Oil’s technology aligns with global decarbonization efforts and major initiatives like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Oman’s Vision 2040. As the company seeks partners to scale its breakthrough, its AI-powered vessel could redefine how the world responds to environmental disasters.
