Jinkosolar

JinkoSolar, headquartered in China, is a key player in the Electricity by Solar Photovoltaic industry.

For 2024, JinkoSolar reported approximately 34.4 billion kg CO2e in total emissions. This included 138.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4.86 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 29.46 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions, about 25.63 billion kg CO2e, came from purchased goods and services.

In 2023, JinkoSolar's total emissions were approximately 34.64 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 104 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 5.07 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 29.46 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, JinkoSolar's total emissions were about 20.38 billion kg CO2e in 2022 and approximately 14.06 billion kg CO2e in 2021. The company first disclosed Scope 3 emissions in 2021.

JinkoSolar has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. As part of its near-term targets, JinkoSolar Co., Ltd. is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50.4% by 2032 from a 2022 base year. The company also pledges to increase its active annual source of renewable electricity from 51% in 2022 to 100% by 2030. Furthermore, JinkoSolar commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 58.2% per MW of solar-related product produced by 2032 from a 2022 base year.

For its long-term targets, JinkoSolar plans to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year. It also aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and downstream transportation and distribution by 97% per MW of solar-related product produced within the same timeframe. These targets reflect a commitment to a 1.5°C warming scenario.
