World Environment Day | Guided by new quality productivity, Sany is deeply engaged in the road of low-carbonization

Today is the 54th World Environment Day, and tackling the global climate challenge with a positive attitude is a critical path to sustainable development. Relying on the strategy of "globalization, digital intelligence, and low-carbonization", Sany Group is guided by new quality productivity such as intelligent manufacturing and green energy technology, and contributes to China's "dual carbon" goal and global climate action.

Energy efficiency innovation for low-carbon manufacturing

Low-carbon operations have been deeply integrated into Sany's intelligent manufacturing system, and each of the Group's subsidiaries has set clear emission reduction targets: with 2022 as the base year, Sany Heavy Industry strives to reduce production energy consumption by 22.5% by 2030; Sany Renewable Energy pledged to reduce its operating carbon emissions by 25% by 2030 compared with 2020; Sany International has made it clear that in 2030, the greenhouse gas emission intensity will be reduced by 25% compared with 2020, and the energy consumption intensity will be reduced by 20%.

In order to achieve the goal, Sany vigorously promotes the application of clean energy and digital upgrading, improves energy efficiency through photovoltaic power generation and smart factory construction, and integrates energy-saving measures into all aspects of production operations.

In 2024, by analyzing the data of the standby monitoring system, Sany Heavy Industry formulated the rules for the standby shutdown of production equipment, set the standby time of different equipment, and shut down when overtime, saving a total of 2,080,800 kWh of electricity per year, developing a new coating process of two sprays and one drying (2C1B), and selecting a primer with the advantage of fast drying, saving a total of 461,400 kWh of electricity and 379,800 cubic meters of natural gas annually while achieving the original process effect.

Adhering to the vision of "promoting the efficient use of clean energy by human beings", Sany Renewable Energy takes the "zero-carbon park" as the benchmark to continuously reduce the overall environmental impact of the company's operations and products. Sany Renewable Energy's self-built rooftop photovoltaic in the Nankou Park has generated 2,460.39 MWh of electricity annually, and the rest of the electricity is purchased with green electricity, achieving 100% green power use. The Shaoshan Leaf "Lighthouse Factory" adopts a microgrid photovoltaic system with an installed capacity of 6.6 megawatts, and is operated in the mode of "self-consumption and surplus electricity grid".

Low-carbon technologies build green competitiveness

In 2024, Sany Group will launch a series of low-carbon products with high quality, low energy consumption and high experience, actively lay out the second growth curve of "wind and solar hydrogen storage", and lead the industry to develop rapidly in the direction of electrification, intelligence and energy saving.

Among them, Sany Heavy Industry has launched 40 electric products, with an annual sales volume of 6,200 units, and the sales of its main products such as electric excavators, electric mixer trucks, electric pump trucks, and electric cranes are leading. Among them, SY215E 21T classMedium-sized excavatorsAs the industry's first excavator to use special electrification technologies such as double-change technology, electric rotation technology, and integrated thermal management, the energy consumption is reduced by 10% compared with the industry.

In the mining equipment sector, Sany International has launched a variety of intelligent tunneling, mining machines, intelligent shearers, pure electric wide-body vehicles, intelligent unmanned wide-body vehicles and other products to empower green mining. By the end of 2024, a total of 300 Sany intelligent roadheaders have been sold, which are widely used in 213 mines in China, improving the energy efficiency of coal mining by 30%; The innovative hybrid system pioneered by Sany Heavy Equipment has a comprehensive fuel saving rate of 20% ≥ and reduces carbon emissions by about 15,000 tons per year.

Sany Renewable Energy is committed to developing environmentally friendly wind turbine products, and in 2024, the company sold a total of 135.8 billion kWh of wind turbine power generation, equivalent to 72.87 million tons of carbon reduction. In October 2024, the world's largest 35 MW six-degree-of-freedom wind turbine test bench was officially put into operation at the Sany Renewable Energy Wind Power Test Center, ensuring high reliability throughout the life cycle of wind turbines from the source and greatly improving the safety and operational efficiency of wind turbines.

The whole value chain is coordinated and co-governed

Sany Group extends the low-carbon concept to the whole chain of supply chain and operation management. In terms of compliance management at the manufacturing end, 100% of Sany Heavy Industry's 22 main engine and parts subsidiaries have obtained pollutant discharge permits, and all wastewater, waste gas and noise emissions have reached the standard, 12 have passed ISO 14001 environmental management system certification, 21 factories have applied photovoltaic power generation, and the annual clean energy consumption has reached 76.072 million kWh, accounting for 13.8%.

In terms of green supply chain control, Sany International has established ESG-oriented supplier access standards, and implemented blacklist management for suppliers with a performance rating of D and serious violations. Sany Renewable Energy has become the first company in the wind power industry to pass the ISO 20400 sustainable procurement certification, and 98.8% of its suppliers have signed compliance contracts that include environmental and labor rights clauses, building an industry-leading green supply chain system.

In the face of two once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, one is the Chinese dream under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and the other is the "super technology window" brought about by the fourth industrial revolution and the third energy revolution.
