- Waste Heat-to-Electricity to Boost Energy Efficiency at Furnaces
by 10% - - Phase One Estimated Annual Revenue $2.9 Million - XI'AN,
China, April 6 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Recycling
Energy Corp. (OTC:CREG) (BULLETIN BOARD: CREG) ("CREG" or "the
Company"), a fast- growing industrial waste-to-energy solutions
provider in China, today announced that it has signed a joint
venture ("JV") agreement with Erdos Metallurgy Co., Ltd. ("Erdos"),
located in Inner Mongolia of China, to reduce pollution and improve
energy efficiency at Erdos facilities. Pursuant to the agreement,
the JV, which will initially be 80% owned by CREG through Xi'an
TCH, its wholly owned subsidiary, will design, install, test,
operate, and monitor 11 energy-recycling systems, which generate
electricity and heat from industrial wase, at 54 iron ore furnaces
owned by Erdos. The JV is expected to reduce Erdos's dependence on
the external power grid by 10% and lessen the need for coal-fired
boilers to generate heat. This forthcoming energy-recycling project
will be one of key projects in the province and to date the largest
project of this type in China's non-ferrous metallurgy industry.
The first system ("Phase One") is expected to be completed and
start power generation by October 2009. Phase One is projected to
generate annual revenue of approximately $2.9 million (RMB 20
million) for the next 20 years. When completed, the 11 systems are
projected to have a combined capacity of 70 MW with the potential
to grow to 120 MW or more and 30 tons of steam per hour. Together
these systems are expected to generate revenue of $38 million (RMB
265 million) per year. "We are extremely excited about the
prospects of new revenue streams for us from this JV," said Mr.
Guohua Ku, CEO of CREG. "Erdos is one of the biggest and best-known
enterprises in Inner Mongolia, and it has the largest iron-alloy
production facilities in China. This JV agreement is significant
because it validates our engineering ability to build and manage
large-scale, clustered power systems that are powered by waste gas
and heat, and also designed to reduce industrial pollution. We
intend to finance this JV from our own resources and also take
advantage of the favorable loan terms offered by the local
government's stimulus package in Inner Mongolia." The JV will be
set up in the Industrial Park of the town of Chessboard Well, which
is located in Otog Banner, Ordos City in Inner Mongolia - the same
location as Erdos itself. The JV is currently awaiting registration
approval from the local authorities. About Erdos Metallurgy Co.,

Recycling Energy Corp. ("CREG" or "the Company") is based in Xi'an,
China and provides environmentally friendly waste-to-energy
technologies to recycle industrial byproducts for steel mills,
cement factories and coke plants in China. Byproducts include heat,
steam, pressure, and exhaust to generate large amounts of
lower-cost electricity and reduce the need for outside electrical
sources. The Chinese government has adopted policies to encourage
the use of recycling technologies to optimize resource allocation
and reduce pollution. Currently, recycled energy represents only an
estimated 1% of total energy consumption and this renewable energy
resource is viewed as a growth market due to intensified
environmental concerns and rising energy costs as the Chinese
economy continues to expand. The management and engineering teams
have over 20 years of experience in industrial energy recovery in
China. For more information about CREG, please visit
