Xinyi Solar

Xinyi Solar, a Chinese company operating in the electricity by solar thermal industry, has disclosed its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

For the reporting year 2025, Xinyi Solar reported a total of approximately 10.4 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into approximately 5.0 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 1.0 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 4.4 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions.

In the previous year, 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 7.8 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 5.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 1.2 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and roughly 1.2 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Looking back further, Xinyi Solar reported approximately 5.7 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined in 2023, with Scope 1 emissions around 4.5 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1.2 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 3.9 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 3.0 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2: 0.9 billion kg CO2e). Emissions for 2021 were approximately 3.2 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined (Scope 1: 2.4 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2: 0.8 billion kg CO2e). The earliest reported data for 2020 shows Scope 1 and 2 emissions at approximately 2.5 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.9 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2: 0.6 billion kg CO2e).

Xinyi Solar has established a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission target for 2025, with a commitment to achieve peak Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2029. The company's climate commitments are for the near term, aiming for climate neutrality. Scope 3 emissions data is not fully disclosed for all reporting years, with "scope_3/fuel_and_energy_related_activities" noted as a missing data point in several instances. The company's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation.
