Trina Solar's reported carbon emissions
**Trina Solar's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments** In 2024, Trina Solar reported a total of approximately 25.7 billion kg CO2e in greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is comprised of approximately 79.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 2.8 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 22.8 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. For the previous year, 2023, Trina Solar's total emissions were approximately 23.5 billion kg CO2e. This included roughly 107.7 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 2.0 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and about 21.4 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. Trina Solar is committed to significant emissions reductions. The company aims to reduce its Scope 1 emissions by 50% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. Concurrently, it targets a 50% reduction in Scope 2 emissions from the same 2020 baseline by 2030. Furthermore, Trina Solar has committed to reducing its combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Looking further ahead, the company has a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Additionally, Trina Solar is working towards a 50% reduction in the GHG emissions intensity (tCO2e/MW) of its cells within Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025, against a 2020 baseline. They also aim for a 40% reduction in the GHG emissions intensity (tCO2e/MW) of modules within Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025, also against a 2020 baseline.
