Yang Bao Enterprise focuses on circular economy and sustainable energy transformation, introducing EU-certified Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) technology to turn combustible materials from industrial waste into high-efficiency fuel. This initiative promotes waste reduction, energy regeneration, and lowcarbon development, implementing sustainable operations. Currently, Yang Bao Enterprise is actively promoting three major green energy infrastructures, including two SRF fuel treatment plants, with a total processing capacity of up to 400,000 tons per year, and a power plant that burns SRF fuel for electricity generation, with an installed capacity of 20 MW. It is expected that the processing plants and power plants will complete trial operations in 2025 and enter fullscale commercial operation. Through the circular utilization of “waste to energy,” the annual electricity generation is expected to reach 129.6 million kWh, enough to supply electricity to about 36,000 households and replace approximately 125,000 tons of coal usage, further promoting the green energy transformation.
