YICHANG, China, Mar. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Angel Yeast Co., Ltd(http://en.angelyeast.com/) ("Angel Yeast" or "the

Company", 600298.SH), a listed global yeast and yeast extract manufacturer, has

reached another recognition milestone for its green push towards the goal of

carbon-neutrality after China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

recently named Angel Yeast as one of the national "Green Factories." The

recognition is testimony to the Company's unrelenting effort to reduce the

carbon footprint of its operations, demonstrating its tremendous and

long-standing commitment to energy conservation and environmental protection.

"As a leading global yeast innovator dedicated to bringing healthy and

nutritious yeast-based products to customers worldwide, Angel Yeast shares the

global responsibility to drive forward sustainable development by continuously

advancing our pledge to reduce energy consumption and carbon emission. The

recognition from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology marks

another major step for Angel Yeast in our drive to help China and the world

accelerate towards the net-zero goal," said Xiao Minghua, General Manager of

Angel Yeast.

To transform into a green factory, Angel Yeast has ramped up investment to

outfit its manufacturing facilities with a plethora of carbon-reducing

solutions – including the adoption of energy-saving equipment and waste heat

and pressure recovery – to bring down energy consumption and support its new

green energy production needs. The Company has expanded the use of solar power

while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The upgraded steam-reducing technology

allows Angel Yeast's factories to recover the waste heat generated during

production, boosting energy efficiency and curtailing steam consumption.

Meanwhile, Angel Yeast is also able to achieve cascade utilization of energy by

equipping its factories with the latest water-recycling technology.

In 2021, Angel Yeast launched a project to install magnetic levitation fans for

two production bases in Suixian and Binzhou. Now, all of Angel Yeast's

factories are equipped with magnetic levitation fans. In the same year, Angel

Yeast installed magnetic suspension chillers for its yeast production line in

Chongzuo and upgraded the boiler automation for its Egypt-based company. The

year also saw Angel Yeast implementing twenty-eight technological overhauls for

its plants across all regions, which resulted in 19,700 tons of reduction in

CO2 emissions, driving down power consumption per ton of yeast by 1.4%, steam

by 2.5%, and water consumption by 3.1%.

Angel Yeast has started a major expansion of renewable energy generation,

replacing fossil fuels with clean energy sources. Its wastewater treatment

facilities harness anaerobic fermentation technology to treat organic

wastewater to produce biogas, which is reused in biogas boilers to produce

steam, replacing the coal-generated and outsourced steam. Angel Yeast is also

promoting the use of biomass fuel in boilers to further reduce the use of

fossil fuels. The measures helped the Company recycle 16.89 million cubic

meters of biogas in 2021, a 21.7% year-on-year increase, cutting 27,000 tons of

CO2 and 88,000 tons of coal-produced and outsourced steam.

With the yeast wastewater reutilization technology, Angel Yeast recycles the

organic matter in the yeast fermentation wastewater to produce fertilizer for

crops, paving the way for building a circular supply chain. In 2021, the

Company produced 277,000 tons of yeast organic fertilizer through this method.
