(formerly China Recycling Energy Corporation until a rebranding in March 2022) is headquartered in Xi’an, China, and operates in the renewable/utility-adjacent space through industrial waste-energy recovery. The company’s core business is centered on converting otherwise wasted industrial energy streams—such as blast furnace top gas pressure, surplus waste heat, and flammable waste gases—into usable power and energy efficiency benefits.
On the technology and project side, Smart Powerr’s offerings are typically delivered as end-to-end energy recycling solutions. These include engineering design and implementation support, project construction and installation, operational management, and—depending on the deal structure—eventual transfer of the project. For example, it develops waste pressure-to-energy systems (including equipment analogous to blast furnace top gas recovery turbine units), waste heat-to-energy power generation projects for sectors like cement, steel, coking coal, and nonferrous metals, and waste gas-to-energy systems that use flammable waste gases (originating from activities such as coal mining, petroleum extraction, or refinery processes) to generate electricity. It also provides combined-cycle power plant configurations that use a gas turbine to generate electricity first and then capture exhaust heat to produce additional steam-turbine power.
Beyond pure engineering, the company participates in project investment and investment management, and it provides consulting services that span economic information and technical areas. It is also involved in financial leasing-related activities, including advisory services for such transactions and asset management that may include purchasing, repair, and disposal of leased assets. In addition, it sells and leases energy-saving systems and equipment, extending its value proposition from project-based conversion of waste energy to broader efficiency solutions.
From a cost and delivery perspective, these businesses generally rely on project contracting, equipment/system procurement, construction and installation capabilities, and ongoing operational responsibility. The company’s reported financial snapshot (as provided) indicates profitability pressure in recent periods (e.g., negative margins and negative returns on assets/equity in the snapshot), which is typical for certain project/engineering and development-stage dynamics where revenue recognition, operating expenses, and one-off items can significantly affect results.
Key people include Guohua Ku, who serves as Chairman/CEO (and is referenced as founder in available profiles). With a relatively small full-time employee base (about 22 employees reported), Smart Powerr likely operates with a lean corporate structure supported by project teams, contractors, suppliers, and client/partner collaboration across its energy-recycling and energy-saving portfolio. Overall, the company’s “waste-to-energy + energy efficiency” approach targets industrial customers for whom wasted energy represents both an operational cost and a decarbonization opportunity, aligning commercial projects with practical, engineered utilization of industrial waste streams.
YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.
QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).

Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive.
