Angel Yeast, a global yeast and yeast extract manufacturer, announced its plan to make more concrete moves to drive sustainable development on April 22, Earth Day 2022. The company’s endeavour and commitment to “Invest in Our Planet” is the theme of this year’s Earth Day. Starting in 1970, Earth Day has been the world’s largest recruiter for the environmental movement to drive positive action for the planet.
“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 celebrate 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 for the cause of environmental protection. Next, it will step up efforts to reach sustainability goals focusing on technology innovation, emissions reduction, and clean energy.
The aim is to use tech innovation to have a clean, pollution-free and environmentally friendly manufacturing process. To achieve this, Angel Yeast poured 475 million yuan into research and development in 2021. It has also set up intelligent and “green” factories for yeast production, where all the production lines are automated to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
To cut and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the world has been reducing fossil fuel dependency by using alternative clean energy such as ethanol fuel. Yeast is a key ingredient in industrial ethanol production, and Angel Yeast is a significant yeast supplier and technology provider of ethanol fuel production. 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. The total amount of methane recycled last year reached 16.89 million cubic meters.
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.
For many years, Angel Yeast has been dedicated to advancing yeast technology and biotech to promote sustainable agriculture and bring people a healthy and nutritious diet. Angel Yeast is a leading player in baker’s yeast in the food and beverage sector to increase the nutrient value and add flavour to food. It is also a key supplier of yeast extract and has been actively involved in healthy diet trends such as clean labelling. Additionally, yeast products by Angel Yeast highly increase the efficiency of raw material in breweries and distilleries and improve flavour and quality. In nutrition & health, it has innovated yeast protein technology to offer alternatives to animal protein. In addition to feeding humans, Angel Yeast also offers yeast products that can be used as animal feed. For the biological fermentation industry, it provides highly-efficient, pollution-free and stable solutions for organic nitrogen resources.
