In China, China New Energy subsidiary Guangdong Zhongke Tianyuan New Energy Science and Technology (ZKTY) has entered a strategic agreement with Jilin Ethanol Industrial and Jilin City Keda Applied Technology Development to form a joint venture company, Jilin Tianyi Biochemical Development.

The JV will exploit and commercialize technology and engineering solutions in the field of ethanol production. JEIC currently has an annual corn processing capacity of 2,000,000 tons, annual ethanol production capacity of 600,000 tons and a 25% shareholding over a further 500,000 tons of annual biofuel grade ethanol capacity.
