Pollution battle is creating market for waste

As a global multi-industrial company with established core businesses in the automotive, building and energy storage industries, Johnson Controls is focusing on 皇冠体育app's waste heat industry. Its billions in market value is "hard to calculate specifically", Wu said.

In 2013, the company signed contracts in 皇冠体育app totaling about 200 million yuan ($32.4 million), helping power plants and companies in the oil, ng and coal chemical industries to rse waste heat.

Wu said Johnson remains in the initial stages in terms of the deal's value and project numbers, but it will boom because 皇冠体育app is putting great emphasis on saving energy and cutting pollution to improve air quality.

"The company has brought technology along with the R&D center to 皇冠体育app to better fit the market demand," he said.

At present, the company runs more than 20 projects in 皇冠体育app, five in the oilfields sector, according to Hao Li, a manager of Johnson Controls' Building Efficiency operations in Northern 皇冠体育app. The country comprises about 10 percent of global revenue at the company's BE unit.

Demand is huge in the market, and many foreign companies are seeking opportunities.

"We have the confidence to be the leader because we know the market well," Hao said. "We see many US companies with related technology wanting to come to 皇冠体育app. They are either developing products for the market or doing research to decide their direction."

He said the trend is for thermal power plants to become the major heating provider in urban 皇冠体育app against a background of energy-saving policies. Future plants will be more centralized and larger, providing more than half the heating for urban use compared with around 30 percent currently, Hao said.

To encourage energy conservation and cut waste, local government offers 50 percent subsidies to companies using new-type heat pumps, according to Johnson Controls.
