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.

Note:

  1. Category 1 direct greenhouse gas emissions, including diesel, gasoline, natural gas, refrigerant, septic tanks, etc., refer to the GWP value of the IPCC 2023 Sixth Assessment Report.
  2. Category 2 Indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity),Taiwan electricity emission coefficient from announcement information by the Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan;China emission coefficient  from nnouncement information by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China。
  3. The statistical scope of greenhouse gas emissions includes Taiwan base and China Dongguan plant.
