Energy recovery is a process in which wasted energy is captured and converted into heat energy or electricity, which ultimately lowers heat pollution and captures harmful pollutants before they enter the atmosphere.

China Energy Recovery Inc. designs, manufactures and installs such waste heat energy recovery systems, primarily targeting the Chinese market, where industrial facilities release high amounts of excess heat into the atmosphere. The company today announced it has been chosen to construct a sulfuric acid plant equipped with a waste heat recovery system for Tianjin Qinfa Chemical, a subsidiary of chemical producer Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group, one of the 200 Largest Companies in China.

The plant is expected to produce 200,000 tons of sulfuric acid a year, and will generate 29 tons of steam per hour from waste heat energy that is captured during the production process. A portion of the steam will be used to generate up to 3MW

January 22, 2009 - Obamarsquo;s inauguration this week signals a change in the level of support that the alternative energy and clean tech sectors will get in Washington, and other world leaders know it. This week at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabu UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change chairman Rajendra Pachauri said he expects the U.S. position on climate change at Decemberrsquo;s meeting in Copenhagen will be critical and will set the tone. Bush never took a lead role. That being said, attention to climate change issues has never been greater on a global scale because countries, all facing economic erosion on an unprecedented level, are all moving to a strategy which effectively kills two birds with one stone: infrastructure investment and investment in green technologies as a primary catalyst for stimulating their own economies. Obamarsquo;s $800 billion fiscal stimulus package is no different. nbsp; The United Nations ...

IPO “Spring” Might be Sooner than Experts Think

According to Bernstein Research, the IPO market for the next year (or two) is going to be about as successful as the Detroit Lions - in other words, not great.

But the IPO market might start picking up sooner than they think. With the amount of money sloshing around in Treasuries driving returns to near 0%. It stands to reason that investors will start looking for better things to do with their money.

In addition, private equity shops aren’t going to want to be “short stacked” for too long. Like a poker game, if you aren’t adding chips, you’re losing them.

The interesting thing is that Grand Canyon Education (Nasdaq: LOPE), which is the most recent IPO, has increased almost 50% since in November.

It’s a standout. Most IPO offerings in the last six months have been pulled, the remaining ones

Heat energy recovery is a “green” technology. Industrial facilities and power plants release significant amounts of excess heat into the atmosphere in the form of hot exhaust gases or high-pressure steam. Energy recovery is the process of recovering vast amounts of that wasted energy and converting it into usable electricity, dramatically lowering energy costs. Energy recovery systems are also capable of capturing the majority of carbon emissions and other harmful pollutants that would otherwise be released into the environment. It is estimated that energy recovery systems installed in U.S. industrial facilities could produce up to 20% of U.S. electricity needs without burning any additional fossil fuel, and could help many industries to meet stringent environmental regulations.

China Energy Recovery not only helps the environment, but also helps each company become compliant to the new and more stringent environmental laws. Their latest project is the completion of a new Alkali Recovery
