Energy policy and objectives
Yulon Motor has been active in energy conservation and carbon reduction and thus established the Energy Saving Committee. With the president serving as the chairman and the units of departmental level acting as the main members, the Committee manages the energy and carries out relevant programs as per the annual energy saving and carbon reduction objectives. The power consumption of production systems and indirect units of the Sanyi plant are managed separately, and improvement plans were put forward based on job nature and implemented accordingly. In terms of the process management, the president convenes energy saving review meetings periodically to keep track of the energy saving performance of each unit. In addition, through the on-site verification and the information exchange with the benchmarks in the industry, we ensure the implementation level of our improvement plans, and thereby enhance the energy efficiency.
Energy use
Note 1: Non-renewable energy was purchased externally (Taipower); renewable energy was generated by own solar power generation equipment.
Note 2: The total power use at the Sanyi plant in 2022 was 12,810,000 kWh, if the 11,150,000 kWh used by the tenants are excluded, the total renewable energy generated was 12,830,000 kWh.
Note 3: All numbers were rounded to 3 decimal places.
Note 4: Heat value of diesel = 8400 kcal/L (data sourced from the GHG Emission Factor Table Ver. 6.0.4); energy (GJ) generated per liter of diesel =8400(kcal/L)*4.184(KJ/kcal)/1,000,000(KJ/GJ)
Note 5: Heat value of natural gas=9,000kcal/m3; energy (GJ) generated per m3=9,000(kcal/m3)*4.184(KJ/kcal)/1,000,000(KJ/GJ)
Note 6: The ratio of self-generated energy to energy use at the plant has been gradually increased since 2022.
