Actively take responsibility and strive to be an industry benchmark

Carbon neutrality refers to the balance between the emission and absorption of man-made carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, so that no new man-made carbon dioxide emissions are added to the atmosphere. BYD has always shouldered a high degree of social responsibility and regards greenhouse gas management as part of its business operations. It has established the "Greenhouse Gas Quantification and Reporting Management Procedures", counts and discloses its own carbon emissions data to relevant parties every year, and actively takes effective energy-saving and emission-reduction actions.

BYD implements the concept of green development into the company's production and operation, and continuously improves the effectiveness of its energy management system through measures such as energy audits, internal audits, energy-saving technological transformations, and employee training to reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency. BYD continues to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by building a green energy management system, promoting renewable energy to replace traditional energy, developing technologies and managing energy conservation, etc.

As a firm practitioner and leader of the green dream, BYD is guided by solving social problems, driven by technological innovation, and realizing corporate development in the process of solving problems, developing photovoltaics, energy storage, electric vehicles, electric forklifts, cloud rails, and cloud Green technology products such as Pakistan and LED open up all aspects of energy acquisition, storage and application, and provide a package of green overall solutions for cities.

In the future, BYD will continue to increase technological innovation and resource input, strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction in the upstream, midstream and downstream industrial chain, build a green procurement system of "green suppliers, green raw materials", and research and explore core components such as new energy vehicles and power batteries Carbon footprint, advocate green travel, help the transportation industry to save energy and reduce emissions, and strive to become a benchmark enterprise in the field of new energy vehicles.

Persist in technological innovation and contribute to the goal of zero carbon

As the pioneer of zero-emissions overall solutions, BYD has proposed three "1/3" subtractions for automobile exhaust emissions in response to carbon emission reduction in the transportation sector to help the zero-carbon goal.

First, by advancing the full electrification of public transportation, taxis, and online car-hailing, we will take the lead in reducing the first 1/3 of automobile exhaust emissions and help achieve low-carbon public transportation. In 2010, BYD proposed the world's first public transportation electrification plan and formed a national strategy, which is now a global consensus.

Second, by promoting the full electrification of urban trucks and special vehicles, reducing the second 1/3 of exhaust emissions, helping to achieve low-carbon engineering and logistics. In 2015, BYD put forward the “7+4” market-wide strategy to increase urban commodity logistics, urban building flow, sanitation, and road buses on the basis of public transportation, rental and private cars, and promote the electrification of vehicles in the “seven major” conventional fields. In the "four major" special fields such as airports, storage, ports and mines, electric special vehicles were launched.

Third, by accelerating the replacement of fuel vehicles by new energy vehicles in the private car sector, reducing the remaining 1/3 of the exhaust emissions, and finally entering the era of fully electric vehicles. BYD has introduced high-safety blade batteries, high-performance silicon carbide chips, and high-efficiency DM-i super hybrid systems to accelerate the electrification of private cars and meet the public's demand for green travel.

In addition, in order to control urban traffic congestion, BYD proposed the coordinated development of urban rail transit with large, medium and small volumes, increasing the matching ratio of small-volume tracks and subways, and helping to achieve low-carbon road network operations. BYD stands at the forefront of rail transit innovation in the world, continuously explores green travel modes, extends the electric vehicle industry chain to the rail transit field, and launches medium-volume cloud rails and small-volume cloud buses, representing cross-border innovation in the electric vehicle and rail transit industries The results continue to help cities save energy and reduce emissions. So far, BYD’s cumulative sales of new energy vehicles (including passenger cars and commercial vehicles) have exceeded 1 million, and the cumulative reduction of CO2 emissions has exceeded 5.48 million tons, which is equivalent to planting 460 million trees.

Green transportation solutions help carbon emission reduction in transportation

In order to make urban development sustainable and make human society more prosperous, in addition to using secondary energy to drive the transportation system, BYD has also developed clean energy technologies such as photovoltaics and energy storage to promote the transformation of the global energy structure. BYD took the lead in developing the "integrated solar storage" model, breaking through the traditional photovoltaic power generation bottleneck, converting solar energy into electric energy and storing applications, allowing clean energy to meet more diversified market demands. The high-safety energy storage system is combined with the solar photovoltaic power generation system to help users store the clean electricity generated by solar energy during the day for use at night. BYD equips the solar energy system with energy storage technology, which allows the grid to absorb and connect more reliable, safe, and low-cost renewable energy, to help adjust the energy structure and continuously increase the proportion of clean energy. Currently, BYD has delivered more than 1GWh of energy storage batteries globally.
