Shanghai-based China Energy Recovery, a company that specialises in waste heat energy recovery, has decided to build a new manufacturing plant in the Yangtze port city of Yangzhou, Jiangsu province. It will make large-sized and sophisticated waste heat recovery systems and other equipment related to energy efficiency.

The first phase of the plant will be completed in late 2010 and it will have its own railway line extending direct to the plant, an important advantage in the transportation of very large items. The local government is giving the company an option on a second plot of land on the banks of the Yangtze to facilitate the future transportation of products by waterway for the export market.
