Energy Management
TSC is committed to improving energy efficiency and ensuring that electricity consumption and other energy consumption are reduced by at least 1% annually. At present, all our production sites have implemented environmental protection plans that are based on their energy consumption. They conduct inspections on equipment that consumes a significant amount of energy and continuously upgrade to new energy-saving equipment as replacements. In 2023, our Li-Je and Shandong sites gradually incorporated the ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems standards in hopes of identifying energy-consuming hotspots based on data analysis upon monitoring and measurement of energy consumption to prevent waste of resources.
Energy Structure
TSC’s production sites use electricity, diesel, and gasoline as their energy sources. In 2023, the primary source of energy consumed by TSC was purchased electricity, which accounted for 99.8% of TSC’s total energy consumption. The remaining energy sources, i.e., fuels, were primarily used in emergency generators, stackers, forklifts, and other equipment at the site. As far as energy intensity is concerned, there has been a downward trend over the past three years, which suggests a significant increase in energy efficiency at our production sites.

Continuous Improvement on Energy Consevation
Since electricity is the main source of energy consumed at TSC, the energy conservation programs rolled out at TSC are aimed at saving electricity. These programs include improving heat dissipation at cooling towers and optimizing the power rating of water chillers, upgrading lighting equipment, and replacing old air-conditioning equipment with new ones,with a view to achieving the goal of energy conservation and carbon reduction. In 2023, TSC successfully reduced 9,299.15 GJ in energy consumption.
Use of Renewable Energy
Following our effort to gradually seek alternative energy sources in line with international trends, TSC, despite not currently being named a large electricity consumer under the Renewable Energy Development Act, continues to keep a close eye on international regulations and policies, prices and costs, as well as market trends related to renewable electricity while gradually studying and drawing up long-term renewable energy development strategies. Aside from assessing the option of constructing solar energy facilities at our production site to generate electricity for our own use, we also assess the option of purchasing renewable energy. Since 2021, the Tianjin Site has been working with external suppliers to explore the procurement of renewable energy.
