SHANGRAO, China, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding
Co., Ltd. (the "Company," or "JinkoSolar") (NYSE: JKS), one of the
largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the
world, today announced that it has obtained the first
photovoltaic module LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) certificate in the
Greater China region issued by TÜV
Rheinland (China) Ltd. ("TÜV
Rheinland"), and concurrently passed the Italian EPD certification.
The modules that have been certified are monocrystalline mainstream
modules, with a total of 6 series and 43 sub-models. It is
currently the sole domestic project with the largest number of
products that have passed the Italian EPD photovoltaic
certification at the same time.
The LCA certificate issued by TÜV Rheinland is an important
foundation for the Italian EPD certification. Based on the
requirements of ISO 14040/ISO 14044, it adopts a life cycle
assessment method focusing on environmental impact such as global
warming potential, from raw material mining to the production of
silicon wafers, cells, modules, upstream and downstream
transportation, power station construction, operation and
maintenance to final dismantling and disposal, and comprehensively
evaluates and demonstrates multiple environmental impacts of
JinkoSolar's photovoltaic products throughout their life cycle
index. Combining the world's carbon neutrality commitments and
China's domestic 30/60
decarbonization goal, this certification can help companies fulfill
their pledges on carbon emissions reduction through recognizing
product low-carbon design, optimized energy management systems, and
energy efficiency improvements, social responsibility for emissions
and ecological impact, and achieve the ultimate goals of
energy-saving and emissions reduction.
On the basis of this certification, JinkoSolar gradually
completed the requirements of ISO 14025 and the corresponding PV
module PCR EPD Italy 014, and successfully completed the Italian
EPD registration. Completion of this registration demonstrates that
JinkoSolar's PV modules met the requirements of the threshold
environmental standards issued by the Italian Environment Agency in
October 2017, and also met the
requirements of the European Green Public Procurement Action
Plan.
Mr. Kangping Chen, CEO of Jinko
Solar Co., Ltd., commented, "JinkoSolar pays great attention to the
details of how we control carbon emissions throughout the full life
cycle of solar photovoltaic power generation. Obtaining the first
LCA Certificate for PV Modules in Greater
China, as well as having completed the EPD registration
certification, are not only industry standard recognitions of our
product quality but evidence of our strong commitment to social
responsibility. As a global module manufacturer and member of
RE100, we will continue to promote carbon neutrality and provide
our global customers with more clean and high-efficiency
products."
Mr. Zou Chicheng, Vice President of Solar Energy Services at TÜV
Rheinland Greater China, commented, "We congratulate JinkoSolar on
receiving this certification. Reducing carbon emissions has become
a global trend that continues to affect products, R&D,
production, and supply chain management across a wide range of
industries. Replacing traditional energy with clean energy such as
photovoltaic energy will continue to contribute to energy saving
and emission reduction goals. JinkoSolar obtained the first LCA
certificate in Greater China and
the Italian EPD photovoltaic certification at the same time,
further delivering on its corporate social responsibility and
product strength, and will help improve market competitiveness of
modules. TÜV Rheinland's professional one-stop service aims to help
more companies enter their target markets and promote the world's
green energy transition."
