Recently, Trumpf was selected as a prominent enterprise in the construction of "near zero carbon factories" in Suzhou due to its successful practice in the field of green and low-carbon development. This recognition represents that Tongkuai China has achieved phased results in building a scientific carbon management system and promoting full chain emissions reduction, and further demonstrates its exemplary role as an outstanding player in the laser and machine tool industries on the road to full chain emissions reduction.

Hardcore technology support: How can Tongkuai achieve "near zero carbon"?

Behind being awarded the title of "Near Zero Carbon Factory" is the solid action of Tongkuai's long-term commitment to technological innovation and deep cultivation of energy conservation and carbon reduction. The company has established a sound management system of ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, and ISO50001, and was awarded the title of "Jiangsu Province Green Factory" as early as 2021. On this basis, we have implemented a series of effective emission reduction measures around core links such as energy, resources, and supply chain

01 Smart energy management, data-driven emission reduction:

The company has established an Energy Management Platform (EMS) to achieve real-time monitoring, data analysis, and precise control of energy consumption and carbon emissions, providing a scientific basis for energy-saving and emission reduction decisions.

02 Technological transformation and upgrading, exploring energy-saving potential:

Through key technological improvements such as frequency conversion of factory fans, intelligent control of sandblasting machines, and optimization of process water system temperature, the company has achieved an annual power savings of over 160000 kWh and an annual cumulative carbon reduction of over 90 tons. This is roughly equivalent to the total amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by over 5000 trees in a year.

03 Open source green energy, intelligent offsetting of surplus emissions:

The company actively builds solar photovoltaic power stations, utilizes renewable energy, and vigorously implements energy conservation and emission reduction. By introducing internationally recognized I-REC and VCU, it has achieved 100% offset of carbon emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2.

04 Recycling resources to create a green supply chain:

The company implements projects such as recycling of surplus materials, reusing scrapped materials, and renovating equipment to reduce resource consumption from the source. On the supply chain side, we innovatively adopt the "Milk Run" circular pickup mode, optimize logistics routes, improve transportation efficiency, and effectively reduce the scope of carbon emissions.

Looking ahead to the future, Tongkuai will continue to uphold the concept of sustainable development, provide replicable low-carbon solutions for industry chain partners through its own continuous innovation and practice, jointly empower green transformation in the industrial sector, and contribute Tongkuai's wisdom and strength to the realization of national and local 'dual carbon' goals.
