ECOVE is an environmental services provider specializing in Energy-from-Waste (EfW). Among the 24 EfW Plants in Taiwan, over 2/3 are managed by ECOVE providing services in Operations and Maintenance, Commissioning, Revamping and Overhaul, and Upgrade and Improve Systems and Equipment.

The Global Harbor Cities Forum, organized by Economic Development Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government, which expected to introduce the latest incineration technologies for life extension of EfW plants, has attracted numerous government officials, scholars, experts, institutions around the world.

Huang indicated that ECOVE successfully assisted Gangshan and Kanding EfW Plants in revamping work to advance efficiencies in resource cycling. ECOVE not only prolonged service life of EfW plants, but also exported its successful O&M experience in EfW to obtain the operation rights of Macao EfW Plant and Macao Hazardous Waste Treatment Plant. Now, ECOVE is actively looking to expands EfW business into New Southbound countries.
