Angel Yeast, a yeast extract manufacturer, has announced plans to drive sustainable development, focusing on ‘technology innovation, emissions reduction and clean energy’.

Announced to coincide with Earth Day 2022, the company says it will endeavour to "Invest in Our Planet," which is the theme of this year's event.

"At Angel Yeast, we provide quality and reliable products to over 160 countries. Meanwhile, we stick to a 'green' business mode and always make environmental issues a top priority. As we are celebrating Earth Day, we pledge to make our 'investment' with more substantial projects and plans to help drive a prosperous and sustainable future." said Minghua Xiao, General Manager of Angel.

In 2021, Angel Yeast invested 513 million yuan ($78.1m) in its sustainability efforts. The company’s aim is to employ technology in the pursuit of a clean, pollution-free and environmentally friendly manufacturing process. It has invested heavily in R&D, and has also set up intelligent and "green" factories for yeast production, where all the production lines are automated, in order to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

Yeast is also a key ingredient in industrial ethanol production, which can contribute to reduced fossil fuel dependency. In addition, clean energy has also been used in yeast production at Angel Yeast. To reduce coal-burning in boilers, Angel Yeast recycles methane from wastewater.

In 2021, Angel Yeast completed 28 technological transformation projects to reduce emissions, cutting a total of 19,700 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The company also uses yeast fermentation broth to produce organic fertilizer, driving sustainable development in agriculture.
