Company Description
Smart Powerr Corp. (NASDAQ: CREG) is an industrial waste-to-energy and clean energy technology company based in Xi’an, China. According to its public disclosures, the company focuses on waste energy recycling, energy efficiency solutions, and advanced energy storage and clean energy systems for energy‑intensive and industrial customers in China.
Smart Powerr Corp. describes itself as a pioneer in waste energy recycling, developing projects that capture industrial byproducts such as heat, steam, pressure, and exhaust from facilities like steel mills, cement factories, coke plants, and nonferrous metal plants.

Over time, project ownership can be transferred under agreed terms, while the company focuses on project development, construction, and operation during the initial phases.
Smart Powerr Corp. reports that it offers waste energy recycling systems to companies operating nonferrous metal plants and other heavy industrial facilities. Its projects are positioned to help customers that consume substantial amounts of electricity improve energy efficiency by turning previously wasted energy streams into usable power.
