Trina Solar Aims To Use 100 RE Power In Global Manufacturing By 2030

Solar photovoltaic module solution and energy company Trina Solar has now vowed to use 100 percent renewable energy for its global manufacturing and operations by the end of 2030. The company has outlined its plan to go net-zero with its greener ambitions.

The company said that it had expanded its sustainability efforts by implementing various net-zero practices, including net-zero operations, a net-zero value chain, and net-zero products. The firm said that it had employed a variety of carbon neutrality measures to meet its 2030 objective. The plan includes improvements to energy efficiency, net-zero industrial parks and factories, waste reduction, reuse, and recycling (3Rs), use of renewable energy, digital management of energy and carbon emissions, and development and implementation of carbon reduction technology.

As per the cleantech company, it insists on incorporating environmental responsibility into every aspect of its operations. “The company has instituted a thorough and effective ISO14001 environmental management system at all of its global plants, considering the preservation of the local ecosystem and biodiversity from the time it selects sites for its manufacturing facilities. Through an array of environmental management systems and processes, the environmental impact of the organization’s products, activities, and services is effectively minimized,” the firm said.

In April 2023, Trina Solar’s Yiwu plant became the first in the PV industry to be officially certified as a Zero Carbon Factory. In addition to reflecting the company’s carbon reduction practices in technology, products, equipment, and process management over the past quarter century, this demonstrates Trina Solar’s strong commitment to sustainable development.

It said that Trina Solar’s green operations also involve the sustainable use of natural resources, the responsible emission and recycling of waste gas, wastewater, and solid waste, and substantially reducing electricity consumption, water consumption, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. “Trina Solar’s GHG emissions per unit of production for cell and module products decreased by 50.81% and 61.88%, respectively, in 2022, compared with those in 2020, attaining or exceeding its carbon emission reduction objectives early,” the firm said.
