SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 24 November 2023 - Lee Kum Kee emerged at the top of the "China Sustainable Manufacturing Initiative of the Year (Food)" category in Singapore yesterday with the announcement of final results for the Manufacturing Asia Awards 2023.

The "IC Tower and Biogas Power Generation" project improves the efficiency of wastewater treatment and collects the biogas produced by the process to generate electricity, transforming waste into energy and creating sustainable economic benefits. Since the project commenced last year, more than two million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity has been generated, equivalent to saving 585 tonnes of coal, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 1,000 tonnes. With this initiative, Lee Kum Kee is the first enterprise in Jiangmen City to generate electricity with biogas, and is a showcase for the technology's wider application in the industry.
