DMEGC Solar, a manufacturer of PV modules, and TUV SUD, a testing, inspection, and certification organization, have joined forces in a strategic cooperation agreement to promote carbon-neutralization and zero-carbon factories.
The signing ceremony marked the beginning of their in-depth collaboration, with a focus on achieving the certification of DMEGC Solar’s first zero-carbon factory in October 2023. Additionally, the companies aim to conduct carbon inspections of all DMEGC Solar modules factories by early 2024.
A zero-carbon factory is a production facility that successfully achieves zero carbon emissions through measures like technical carbon offsetting, energy conservation management, and energy efficiency improvement. In the current global climate, where green and low-carbon development is a crucial focus, decarbonization and zero-carbonization have become strategic options for manufacturers looking to transform and upgrade their operations.
DMEGC Solar has been at the forefront of incorporating green and low-carbon principles into its production processes. As early as 2013, the company built a 20.7 MW distributed PV project at its Hengdian factory, generating around 20 million KWH of green energy annually. DMEGC Solar was among the first manufacturers to obtain the French low-carbon certification and has received various international professional certifications, such as ISO14001 and ISO50001.
Recently, DMEGC Solar launched a 100 percent Green Electricity initiative across all its module production lines. By utilizing electricity generated from renewable sources and local clean energy resources, the company has made significant strides towards green and low-carbon manufacturing.
The collaboration with TUV SUD, known as the “Zero Carbon Journey,” is expected to further enhance the efficient utilization of renewable resources, energy efficiency management, optimized energy structure, and advancement in photovoltaic (PV) technology R&D.
Hailiang Xu, Vice President of TUV SUD Greater China Smart Energy, emphasized the organization’s commitment to working with DMEGC Solar throughout the entire process of factory planning and design, production equipment upgrades, process optimization, and more.
The aim is to develop a model of carbon-neutralization and zero-carbon factories in the PV industry, injecting new impetus into the green transformation of the sector. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices within the solar industry.
