The Company expects to generate revenue of RMB114.64 million (approximately $17.5 million) per year based on the heating steam's current market price of RMB220 per ton. If the project is connected to nearby grids,the Company expects to generate RMB42.33 million (approximately $6.5 million ) in revenue per year based on RMB0.75 kw/h market price of biomass electricity,according to biomass electricity pricing policies set by China National Development and Reform Commission. In total,we estimate to generate an annual revenue of RMB157 million (approximately $24 million) through the Biomass CHP Project.

Mr.Zhenyong Liu,CEO and Chairman of the Company commented,"For the Biomass CHP Project we make use of biomass resources (mainly crop straw,forestry waste and pulp residues) for power generation and heating,which greatly promotes the development and utilization of renewable resources.
