TCL is pushing a lot of numbers here. 3.77 million MWh of renewables is a start, but I want to see the percentage of their total energy mix. Without the baseline, the absolute number does not tell us if they are actually decarbonizing or just growing their green slice while the total pie gets bigger.

Exactly. Also, 145 MW of onsite PV is decent for a factory, but the real question is how much of that is actually offsetting grid demand versus being curtailed. Did they mention any onsite storage to handle the intermittency?

The mention of ISO 14067 and ECS certifications is the most useful part of this. It shows they are moving toward standardized carbon footprinting for products, which is necessary if they want to navigate upcoming EU import regulations and carbon border adjustments.

They mention 13 Green Factories. I wonder what the actual energy intensity per unit of output is. It is easy to get a certification, but the real win is in the industrial heat and process efficiency where the bulk of the emissions usually hide.

True. The report is heavy on the philanthropy and AI buzzwords, but the silicon wafer production is where the actual environmental impact is. That process is incredibly energy intensive. I would like to see the specific emissions intensity for the silicon crystals.
