GHG management
In order to actively identify key factors for mitigating climate change, Ability conducted a greenhouse gas emissions inventory from the year 2023 in accordance with the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard and completed third-party verification.
Ability's Category 1 and Category 2 greenhouse gas emissions in 2024 are 6613.6937 tCO2e, a decrease of 1990.889 tCO2e from 2023. Although production capacity has increased, China Dongguan Plant has replaced energy-saving equipment in dormitories, workshops, offices, etc., resulting in a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
Category 1 and category 2 GHG emissions in Yr 2024
CO2 | CH4 | N2O | HFCs | PFCs | SF6 | NF3 | total | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Category 1 and Category 2 | 5195.1774 | 184.5083 | 0.3822 | 1233.6258 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6613.6937 |
Note:
- Category 1 direct greenhouse gas emissions, including diesel, gasoline, natural gas, refrigerant, septic tanks, etc., refer to the GWP value of the IPCC 2021 Sixth Assessment Report.
- Category 2 Indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity),Taiwan electricity emission coefficient = 0.494kg CO2e/ kWh (Announcement information from the Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan);China emission coefficient = 0.5366kg CO2e/ kWh (Announcement information from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China)。
- The statistical scope of greenhouse gas emissions includes Taiwan base and China Dongguan plant.
