This solar rooftop power generation project developed by the Group has made Qingte Industrial Park the largest auto parts production base covered by solar PV projects in Qingdao.

It further enhances the factory's energy conservation and emission reduction efforts, promotes green manufacturing, and achieves a win-win situation between economic benefits and green development.

Environmentally Friendly New Material Industrial Park

Qingte New Material Industrial Park adopts the concept of an environmentally friendly factory. For the energy structure, in line with the requirements of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" for the green and low-carbon development of energy, renewable new energy will be introduced to expand the scale of clean energy utilization.

It is planned to build a 100MW wind power project, and simultaneously plan and construct a 30MW photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage power station to create a zero-carbon park. Through direct green power connection, process optimization and carbon footprint management, carbon emissions will be reduced to the greatest extent, to realize the eco-friendly casting, and comply with the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
