Operators: Weiming Environmental, Junxin Co., China Everbright Environment, Hanlan Environment, China Tianying, Zhongke Environmental, Wangneng Environment, Green Power, etc. [4] 2. Equipment/Engineering Output: Sanfeng Environment [4] - Short-term strategies include heat transformation and collaborative disposal to extract existing profits, while long-term strategies focus on overseas contributions to performance elasticity and exploring new green energy monetization paths such as zero-carbon parks and integrated electricity solutions [3]
