Denso China Actively Implements the "Dual Carbon" Goals: Tianjin Denso Electronics Factory's Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Practices and Future Plans

Since China's announcement of its "dual carbon" goalscarbon peaking and carbon neutralitydomestic manufacturing enterprises have actively responded to the national call, adjusting their development strategies and accelerating technological innovation to achieve sustainable development, driven by multiple rounds of industrial transformation strategies. As a globally renowned automotive parts manufacturer, Denso China Group is actively committed to achieving both electricity carbon neutrality and complete carbon neutrality. This article will delve into the energy-saving, environmental protection, and low-carbon practices of Tianjin Denso Electronics Co., Ltd., as well as its future development plans, showcasing its positive contribution to the green transformation of Chinese manufacturing.

Tianjin Denso Electronics Co., Ltd., a crucial part of the Denso China Group, primarily manufactures automotive electronic products, including 38 types of products such as engine electronic control units and hybrid electronic control units. Its customers encompass renowned Japanese, European, and American, and domestic automakers. Due to its large scale, the factory consumes the highest amount of energy within the Denso China region, making it relatively challenging to reduce energy consumption per unit. However, Tianjin Denso Electronics has successfully achieved its energy-saving goals through a series of effective measures, setting a positive example for other manufacturing enterprises.

Tianjin Denso Electronics has implemented several measures for energy saving and emission reduction. Firstly, the company emphasizes enhancing employee energy-saving awareness through various training and publicity activities, fostering environmental consciousness and a sense of responsibility for energy saving, integrating energy-saving concepts into daily operations. Secondly, the company actively improves the production environment and optimizes production processes to reduce energy waste. For instance, upgrading and modifying equipment to improve efficiency and lower energy consumption. Furthermore, the company has invested heavily in and improved hardware facilities, such as adopting energy-efficient equipment and optimizing the lighting system, effectively reducing energy consumption.

Adhering to the philosophy of "teaching a man to fish," Denso China Group actively shares its energy-saving experience with domestic manufacturers. Since 2021, Denso China has provided energy-saving talent training to 17 key suppliers and plans to support 50 suppliers by 2025, aiming for an average energy saving of 10% per supplier. This initiative not only helps suppliers improve energy efficiency and reduce production costs but also promotes the green transformation of the entire industrial chain.

To achieve its carbon neutrality goals, Denso China has formulated a detailed action plan. Firstly, the company plans to achieve electricity carbon neutrality in its factories by 2025 through the complete implementation of factory energy saving and emission reduction, waste elimination, and procurement of renewable energy. This includes upgrading and modifying existing equipment to improve energy utilization efficiency and actively exploring the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. Secondly, Denso will further promote factory restructuring, manufacturing technology innovation, carbon neutrality of industrial gases, and CO2 capture and utilization. The company is actively exploring the replication of CO2 capture technology in Chinese factories and promoting it as a product or solution to other manufacturers and public facilities, thereby promoting low-carbon development across society.

Denso's global energy-saving and emission reduction efforts have yielded significant results. According to Lu Zai Xin, General Manager of Denso's Production Technology Headquarters, Denso's global factory CO2 emissions have been halved compared to 2020. In the field of electric vehicle products, Denso's sales increased by 133% year-on-year, demonstrating its strong growth in the green travel product sector. In China, Denso has cumulatively achieved a 32.3% reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions since 2021, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 84,000 tons, with a solar power generation capacity reaching 42MW. Furthermore, four of its factories have obtained national-level green factory certification, and seven factories have achieved provincial and municipal-level green factory government certifications, reflecting government recognition of Denso's achievements in energy saving and carbon reduction.

Tianjin Denso Electronics' efforts in carbon neutrality have also yielded remarkable results. "In terms of carbon neutrality, we have exceeded the energy-saving and renewable energy targets set for 2021, successfully reducing carbon dioxide emissions to 76% of the 2020 level. At the same time, we have introduced and operated a nearly 10MW solar power generation system, accounting for 20% of the factory's total electricity consumption," introduced Chen Changling, Deputy General Manager of Tianjin Denso Electronics.

To ensure the achievement of its carbon neutrality goals, Tianjin Denso Electronics has established a mechanism for full staff participation, forming a special carbon neutrality working group to comprehensively promote carbon neutrality work. The company has implemented the ISO50001 energy management system and obtained third-party certification. Through continuous operation and improvement, the company's overall energy management level has been enhanced. In addition, Tianjin Denso Electronics has established a carbon neutrality talent cultivation mechanism, providing education on energy management systems, energy-saving focal points, and successful case studies, and cultivating a group of comprehensive talents with energy management knowledge, energy-saving technology, and on-site improvement capabilities through practical activities such as energy-saving simulators and mutual energy diagnosis.

Denso China is also actively promoting digital transformation, utilizing digital technologies to improve production efficiency and resource utilization. Currently, Denso is continuously improving through digital transformation, AI applications, and production automation to develop new high-quality productivity, continuously optimizing production processes and efficiency, and enhancing the company's competitiveness and overall supply chain level. Denso China's production sites have achieved full data collection of production processes, intelligent equipment, product quality, parts inventory, and logistics information, realizing real-time sharing of production site information through monitoring, management, kanban instructions, and big data analysis.

Denso has 12 group companies in Tianjin, providing high-quality products and services to over 40 customers in China. Tianjin has become an important production base for Denso China. In the future, Denso will continue to promote innovation and intelligent development in Tianjin, making positive efforts to contribute to the region's economic growth and industrial transformation, and contributing to the green development of Chinese manufacturing. Denso's practical experience shows that achieving carbon neutrality goals requires the full participation of enterprises, technological innovation, and persistent efforts. Denso's successful experience is worthy of reference and learning by other enterprises to jointly promote the green transformation and sustainable development of Chinese manufacturing. Through continuous efforts and innovation, Denso China has not only achieved remarkable results in its own energy saving and emission reduction, but also made significant contributions to the green transformation of Chinese manufacturing through experience sharing and technological promotion. This not only reflects Denso China's corporate social responsibility but also provides valuable experience and reference for other enterprises, jointly promoting the sustainable development of the Chinese economy.
