Juzhi Cloud and A-share listed company Zhongyuan Environmental Explores Development of AI Agents for Environmental Protection

Collaboration Background and Policy Guidelines

On 2026, 8, 19, Zhengzhou — China's leading state-owned environmental protection enterprise, Zhongyuan Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 000544), and the Juzhiyun team officially signed a letter of intent to collaborate across all environmental scenarios.AI AgentDevelop in-depth solutions together to deliver an intelligent ecosystem spanning water operations, sludge treatment, and ecological governance. Empower the environmental sector to transform from traditional maintenance to AI-driven precision and low-carbon models.

Strengths and Industrial Foundations of Both Parties

As one of the national "Double Hundred" SOE reform enterprises and a high-tech enterprise, Zhongyuan Environmental Protection has established an industry layout of 1+2+N covering sewage treatment, sludge disposal, reclaimed water utilization, district heating, and ecological restoration. In the first half of 2026, the company treated 3 billion cubic meters of sewage, disposed of 4 million tons of sludge, and supplied 5 million cubic meters of reclaimed water, with operations spanning over 6 cities and regions across China. Meanwhile, the Juzhiyun team had previously been involved in M&A restructuring.AI AgentCompleted architecture design and deployment validation for multiple mature products in areas such as intelligent systems for industrial fund fundraising, investment, management, and exit. Possesses full-stack AI product capabilities spanning foundational large model selection, scenario-specific feature customization, and compliance framework development.

Three Core Application Scenarios

Based on the preliminary cooperation framework discussed by both parties, this environmental initiativeAI AgentDevelopment will focus on three core application scenarios.

Smart end-to-end control for intelligent water management

Deploy a full-loop intelligent agent for Central Plains Environmental's dozens of wastewater treatment plants to predict influent water quality, dynamically optimize process parameters, and provide early equipment failure warnings. This replaces traditional manual judgment, further reducing energy and chemical consumption per ton of water.

End-to-end optimization of sludge disposal

Establish data connectivity across sludge transportation, disposal process scheduling, and the full lifecycle traceability of resource recovery products, leveragingAI AgentAutomatically match optimal sludge disposal pathways across different categories to accelerate the engineering deployment of emerging technologies such as phosphorus recovery and pyrolysis gasification.

Smart Carbon Asset Management

Integrate with the national carbon market data API to automate full-scope carbon accounting, traceability of carbon emission reductions, and generation of carbon asset trading strategies—meeting the surging demand for carbon management services in the environmental protection sector.

Future Roadmap and Industry Impact

Both parties will fully leverage Zhongyuan Environmental Protection's advantages in real-world scenario data and Juzhi Cloud'sAI AgentProductized capabilities: Prioritize deployment validation of the agent at pilot water plants, followed by gradual rollout across all 40+ subsidiaries. Industry analysts believe this powerful synergy between the industrial sector and AI technology will provide a replicable benchmark for AI implementation in China's environmental protection industry.
