Global Warming Solutions Business Summary

Global Warming Solutions, Inc. (GWSO) is a diversified climate technology firm specializing in the development and commercialization of proprietary systems for clean energy, carbon sequestration, and water purification. The company operates through a multi-segment business model that generates revenue via the retail sale of climate-mitigation products, technical consulting, and the licensing of its intellectual property, including its "Pick-up-oil" carbon sorbent and Hybrid Electrochemical Energy System. As of March 2026, GWSO has significantly expanded its clean energy segment by initiating hydrogen extraction operations in the Nemaha Uplift region of Kansas following the receipt of critical drilling permits. Positioned as a high-risk, early-stage innovator in the OTC Expert Market, GWSO competes directly with specialized energy technology firms such as Expion360, Turbo Energy, and Fusion Fuel Green, distinguishing itself through a broad portfolio of patented solid-state electrolyte and hydrogen-on-demand technologies. The company is led by Michael Pollastro, who serves as Chairman, CEO, and CFO, overseeing a lean operational structure that includes Brooke Pollastro as Director of Operations and Erin Carney as Director of Sales. GWSO’s technical strategy is heavily informed by a high-pedigree advisory board featuring Dr. Reza Barati, a Don W. Green Professor at the University of Kansas with extensive industry experience at Schlumberger and Halliburton, and Dr. Jason McKenna, the Director of RDT&E at the University of Southern Mississippi’s Roger F. Wicker Center. While the corporate entity dates back to its 1999 founding as Southern Investments, Inc., its current iteration is defined by strategic partnerships with academic institutions and recent acquisitions, such as AQST USA LLC, aimed at scaling its renewable energy and hydrogen production capabilities.
