Recently, Geely Automobile's Xi'an plant received the Type I zero-carbon factory five-star certificate issued by Titanium Certification, becoming the first zero-carbon factory of a domestic vehicle company. At the same time, in view of its outstanding performance in sustainable development, the Xi'an factory was selected as the 2022 annual industrial case of the APEC Business Leaders China Forum's "Sustainable China Industrial Development Action", and Geely Automobile became the only automobile manufacturing company selected. This move is not only a new milestone for Geely Automobile to achieve its goal of carbon neutrality, but also provides a benchmark reference for the green transformation and high-quality development of other companies in the industry.
Geely Automobile took the lead in formulating the overall goal of "taking 2020 as the base year, reducing the carbon emissions of the entire life cycle of bicycles by more than 25% in 2025, and achieving carbon neutrality by 2045". It has already implemented this in many key links. A major breakthrough was achieved.
Geely Automobile's Xi'an plant received the first Type I zero-carbon factory five-star certificate issued by Titanium Certification, becoming the first zero-carbon factory of a domestic vehicle company. Geely Automobile's Xi'an factory is Geely's factory with the largest area, the most investment, the most high-end products, the most advanced technology, and the highest degree of intelligence. It is also a carbon-neutral benchmark factory with the goal of "zero carbon".
On the production side, through the model of building photovoltaic power stations + purchasing the international green certificate I-REC, we can achieve carbon neutrality in electricity. The construction of the 52-MW super photovoltaic power station in the Xi'an factory was completed in September this year. After it is put into operation, the average annual power generation is expected to reach 47.5 million kilowatt-hours, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 27,000 tons.
On the technical side, use equipment with high efficiency and low energy consumption, and monitor the economic operating parameters of major equipment; actively explore technical energy-saving measures, make full use of waste heat and pressure, and improve energy efficiency.
On the management side, through the establishment of an energy management system and combining technological transformation with management energy conservation, the energy consumption of single vehicles in the first half of 2022 dropped by 12.6% compared with the second half of last year.
On the product side, Geely Automobile has built a diversified new energy technology path including pure electric, hybrid, methanol, battery swap, etc., especially the two Thor series models Xingyue LHi·F and "Thor" Chengdu electric SUV "Xingyue LHi·P" has been put into production to improve energy efficiency and continuously reduce carbon emissions during use.
On the recycling side, explore material recycling and promote circular economy and material-side carbon emission reduction.
As a pioneer in helping Chinese automobile brands achieve the "double carbon" goal, the Xi'an plant has made breakthroughs in zero-carbon manufacturing. It is not only Geely Automobile's continuous exploration of zero-carbon manufacturing upgrade paths, but also the latest achievement of its insistence on practicing sustainable development. Geely Automobile uses its own experience to provide more green transformation references for the industry and make more contributions to accelerating the overall zero-carbon transformation of vehicle manufacturing.
