We at OUCC fully understand that "energy saving" and "intelligent operation" are vital for enterprises that are striving to adapt their operations to a low-carbon economy, and also achieve sustainable operation. To this end, we have introduced the ISO 50001 Energy Management System, improve the cycle through PDCA, keep track of energy usage status, work out appropriate energy management goals, improve energy efficiency at the plant sites, and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
OUCC Energy Policy
Abide by energy-related regulations; 100% participation in energy and CO2 reduction
Continuously improve energy performance; enhance energy efficiency
Review energy consumption indicators; provide resources to support energy saving
Promote clean production processes; promote energy conservation to reduce costs
Dedicate efforts to achieve objectives and promote green enterprise development
Energy-saving Action Plans
According to the inventory data, 70% of the OUCC greenhouse gas emissions came from electricity. As a response, we set a "power-saving" goal by promoting a series of power-saving measures, looking for suitable fuel- and steam-saving solutions. With effective management, the actual annual power saved was about 3.753million kWh in 2022, with a 0.8% power-saving rate.
Actively Promote Energy Saving at Linyuan
The feasibility of a high-efficiency low-carbon heat and electricity cogeneration system at the Linyuan Plant is being evaluated, in the hope that the electricity and steam will fulfill all the requirements for production. Furthermore, we aim to comply with the regulation requiring the establishment of a 10% self-consumption of green energy by the end of 2025.
In additon, OUCC makes full use of technological advantages to promote clean processes, using a cloud based “plant power monitoring system platform” to monitor energy use by the plant with the structured approach in search of energy-saving opportunities. Moreover, carbon reduction measures in the office area have been promoted, including electronic administrative operations, monitor and control of photo-copying over the entire factory, and the promotion of a paperless system for online management, contributing towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emission.
The Mitigation of Transportation Emission
To save energy and reduce carbon emission, we encourage employees at the Linyuan plant, the main manufacturing base of the OUCC, to take use of the company shuttle buses, or to join the carpool system for commuting, so as to cut down on the use of vehicles and reduce the indirect emission of greenhouse gases.
