In 2024, the Company's direct emissions (Category 1) and energy indirect emissions (Category 2) totaled 16,785.799 metric tons of CO2e, an increase of 1,109.498 metric tons of CO2e compared to 2023. The Company has no manufacturing operations, so the main emissions come from purchased electricity. In 2024, the emission intensity decreased to 0.285 metric tons of CO2e/per million dollars of revenue, a reduction of 12.31% compared to 2023. The Company's carbon reduction target for 2030 is to achieve greenhouse gas emission intensity of 0.310 metric tons/per million dollars of revenue. In terms of carbon reduction strategies and actions, we implement various energy-saving projects, replace outdated equipment, purchase renewable energy, and introduce organizational carbon inventory and product carbon footprint management platforms to improve overall inventory efficiency and data quality, thereby identifying emission hotspots.
In 2024, the Company's Phase V facility obtained ISO 50001 Energy Management System certification. Through data tracking and analysis, we continuously seek energy improvement opportunities to reduce environmental impact.
In 2024, the Company's total energy consumption was 128,678.707 gigajoules (GJ), with an energy intensity of 2.183 (GJ/per million dollars of revenue), a decrease of 9.49% compared to 2023. This reduction was due to ongoing energysaving projects and improvements in energy use efficiency. The Company's energy consumption is predominantly from purchased electricity - non-renewable energy, which accounts for approximately 94.18% of total energy consumption. The remaining energy sources include purchased electricity - renewable energy at approximately 5.55%, and fossil fuels at 0.27%. Therefore, in our subsequent energy-saving planning, purchased electricity will be our primary target.
The Company purchases a certain proportion of renewable energy every year. Due to T-REC Center's settlement date, only data from January to October 2024 is currently available. The Company obtained a total of 1,120 new T-REC certificates in 2024, reducing 554 metric tons of CO2e in 2024 due to the use of renewable energy.
