Implement precise measures to overcome the bottlenecks in achieving carbon peaking, driving improvements in the company's energy efficiency and carbon reduction levels.

Advance in an Orderly Manner. Consider the relationship between carbon peaking efforts and stable production operations, ensure effective supply, and maintain the safety of the industrial and supply chains. Advance carbon peaking efforts in a scientific and orderly manner.

2. Objective

The company’s energy structure will be significantly improved, with the energy efficiency of key energy-consuming equipment reaching conservation standards. A comprehensive carbon reduction system will be established, encompassing low-carbon sourcing, carbon reduction throughout processess, and carbon sequestration at the end stage. A low-carbon development model will take shape. By 2035, total carbon emission will be reduced by approximately 50%, and both comprehensive energy consumption per unit of output value and carbon dioxide emissions will continue to decrease, successfully achieving the carbon peak target.

3.Key tasks

1. Vigorous Development of Non-Fossil Energy

Promote the green transformation of energy consumption methods, reduce reliance on purchased electricity, and increase the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption. Fully advance rooftop distributed photovoltaic power generation projects, expand photovoltaic installation areas, and actively promote the application of clean energy. Construct waste heat recovery devices to reduce raw material and energy consumption during production through technological improvements, increase energy resource utilization, and decrease environmental pollution emissions.

2. Enhance Energy Conservation Management in Key Energy-Using Units

Implement energy-saving and low-carbon initiatives, further enforce target responsibilities, and establish a sound energy management and metering system. Strictly enforce energy statistics, energy utilization status, and energy management post systems, and carry out energy efficiency benchmarking activities. Fully enhance energy conservation management capabilities, conduct energy-saving assessments for new fixed asset investment projects on schedule, and comprehensively evaluate the energy consumption and carbon emissions of projects.

3. Improve Energy Efficiency Levels of Key Energy-Using Equipment

Strictly implement the requirements of the "Energy Efficiency Advanced Levels, Energy-Saving Levels, and Access Levels for Key Energy-Using Products and Equipment (2022 Edition)" and current mandatory national energy efficiency standards. Strengthen energy source management, promote advanced and efficient energy-saving products and equipment, and accelerate the elimination of low-efficiency equipment. Focus on energy efficiency upgrades for equipment such as motors, fans, pumps, and transformers, ensuring that the energy efficiency levels of the upgraded equipment reach energy-saving standards (Efficiency Level 2), and strive to achieve advanced efficiency levels (Efficiency Level 1).

4. Optimize the Energy Structure of Transportation Vehicles

All units should focus on reducing pollution and carbon emissions, promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of the transportation structure. Make every effort to update and eliminate high-emission diesel trucks and non-road mobile machinery, optimize the fleet structure, and increase the proportion of National VI diesel trucks, National IV non-road mobile machinery, and new energy vehicles in the transportation fleet. Strengthen the management of outsourced vehicle transportation, avoid contracting with units using high-emission vehicles, and comprehensively promote the construction of a green, low-carbon, and efficient transportation system.

5. Continuously Carry Out Titanium Scrap Recycling

Strengthen the management of residual waste and process scrap during production, increase the recycling of titanium scrap, gradually increase the proportion of titanium scrap added during the melting process, save production costs, and achieve the recycling of waste materials.

6. Actively Promote Green Manufacturing

Strengthen green management throughout the product life cycle, promote green design, and build a green supply chain. Develop a green corporate culture to enhance the brand's green competitiveness. Establish a green management system integrating resources, energy, environment, safety, and occupational health, and apply green management throughout the enterprise's R&D, design, procurement, production, marketing, and service processes. Lead by example in green development and pioneer innovative practices.

Guarantee Measures

1. Improve Organizational Leadership

The company will make overall plans and systematic advancements for carbon peak-related work, coordinate research on important issues, and formulate major policies.
