Trina Solar

Trina Solar, a China-headquartered company in research and development services, reported total emissions of approximately 25.67 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This includes Scope 1 emissions of 79.4 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of about 2.82 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 22.77 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, their total emissions were about 23.54 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 107.7 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions at roughly 1.99 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 21.44 billion kg CO2e.

Trina Solar has committed to several climate targets. They aim to reduce their Scope 1 emissions by 50% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. Additionally, they plan to reduce their Scope 2 emissions by 50% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. The company has also committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade (2025). Furthermore, Trina Solar targets a 50% reduction in GHG emissions intensity (tCO2e/MW) of cells in Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025 against a 2020 baseline, and a 40% reduction in GHG emissions intensity (tCO2e/MW) of modules in Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025 against a 2020 baseline. The company has a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 across all scopes.

Trina Solar was a signatory to the SBTi 1.5°C pledge in May 2021, though its near-term target status has since been removed or is an expired commitment.
