Management approach to air pollution

Significance to Yulon Motor	Yulon Motor has been active in the prevention of air pollution to mitigate the effect of air pollution on environment and protect ecological environment. On top of the compliance with applicable governmental regulations, we also protect property, animals, plants, their nursery environment and citizen health in close connection with people, and we take extra caution for any potential serious air pollution may be caused in the plant to safeguard employees’ health and safety.
Policy and commitment	In compliance with the air pollution control program stipulated by the central competent authority and the air pollution control plans promulgated by the municipal and county competent authorities, Yulon Motor has implemented the air pollution policy and increased the applicable scope and intensity of control. We review the policy and keep refining the countermeasures for the period of bad air condition with reference to the data on stationary pollution sources control and air quality.
Goals	Short-term(2023-2024) Level of Volatile Organic Compounds (hereinafter referred to as VOCs) emissions to be lowered to: below 69g/m2 Medium-term(2025-2026) Level of VOCs emissions to be lowered to: below 68g/m2 Long-term(after 2027) Level of VOCs emissions to be lowered to: below 66g/m2
Achievement in the previous year	Goals of the previous year Achievement Level of VOCs emissions to be lowered to: below 72g/m2 Level of VOCs emissions to be lowered to: below 70g/m2
Responsible unit	Environmental Safety Team
Specific actions	Actual performance in VOCs reduction in 2022: Enhancing solvent cleaning ability so as to lower the amount of solvents used for color change in the automatic spraying machine resulting in 0.5(g/m2) or 0.74% VOCs emissions reduction Improving spraying efficiency to minimize the amount of paint used resulting in 0.9(g/m2) or 1.33% VOCs emissions reduction Increasing the amount of recycled waste solvents and raising distillation efficiency to cut the VOCs emissions by 1.2 (g/m2) to 1.77%

Air pollution control strategy

The air pollutants of the Company are primarily VOCs, SOx, NOx and THC generated in the painting shop. In addition to installation of the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO), we have been making all our efforts to eliminate air pollution by taking different air pollution control measures in recent years to prevent the employees from being affected by the air pollution, protect the health of the residents around the plant, and ensure the air quality of the surroundings. The amounts of particulate matters (PMs), SOx, NOx, VOCs emissions of Yulon Motor in 2022 were 110kg, 488kg, 2,374kg and 235,900kg, respectively. Please refer to Appendix 5 for the information on other significant gas emissions.

Historical Emissions of Air Pollutants in the Recent Three Years (tons/year)

Year	Suspended Particles(PM)	Sulfur Oxides (SOx)	Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)	Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
2020	0.225	1.542	4.319	392.14
2021	0.144	0.742	2.982	228.53
2022	0.110	0.488	2.374	235.90

Air Pollution Control Actions

Natural gas is used to replace diesel as the energy for the oven burner to reduce the emissions of the suspended particles, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides in the air.
Water curtains and negative pressure devices are used to reduce the exposure of human bodies to the volatile organic compounds generated from paint and thinner.
An additional display is installed to monitor the quality of the flue gas emissions generated from the boiler to control its air pollutants effectively.
We inspect and control the combustion efficiency of the VOC combustion furnace, boiler and oven on a regular basis. We implement the VOC reduction plan in line with the pollutant emissions reduction policies of the government.
