BEIJING: Apple<\/a> announced that it will partner with Goldwind<\/a>, the world's largest wind turbine maker, in projects in China<\/a> that will produce 285 megawatts of wind power<\/a>.
\n
This marks Apple's first foray into wind power and is its largest
clean energy<\/a> project to date, said Lisa Jackson, vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives at Apple.
\n
\nAccording to Goldwind, a HK-listed company based in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Apple has purchased 30 per cent of equity in four companies to run four wind power projects in the provinces of Henan, Shandong, Shanxi and Yunnan, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
\n
\nThe four companies are under Beijing Tianrun New Energy Investment Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Goldwind, the announcement said.
\n
\n\"We've been very vigilant about the oversupply problem. So we work with Goldwind to make sure that the four projects we choose are in provinces that don't have a curtailment issue,\" Jackson said.
\n
\nApple is striving to improve the environmental impact of its supply chain, which is responsible for more than 70 per cent of its total carbon footprint.
\n
\nOver a year ago, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the company aimed to make its supply chain in China powered by 100 per cent renewable energy.
\n
\nHe promised 2,000 megawatts of clean energy in China alone and 4,000 megawatts around the world.
\n
\nApple started with a 40-megawatt solar power project in southwest China's Sichuan Province in 2015, which generates enough power to cover all its offices and stores in the country.
\n
\nIt then backed three solar power projects, which can generate 170 megawatts of power, in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region last year.
\n
\nThe wind and solar projects are targeting upstream suppliers that do not have a direct business relationship with Apple, Jackson said.
\n\"These projects will produce more than 900 million kwhs of power, equivalent to the amount of energy needed to power 690,000 Chinese homes,\" she said.
\n
\nThe clean energy will be added to the grid, so that suppliers can choose to purchase renewable power, she said, adding that, currently, they cannot purchase power directly from Goldwind.
\n
\nApple is also happy to see a number of its major suppliers, including Foxconn, Lens, Catcher and Solvay, commit to powering their Apple production with renewable energy.
\n
\nAll the financial backing, both by Apple and its suppliers, will result in the generation of about 1,400 megawatts of renewable energy in China, Jackson said.
\n
\n\"We should help our supply chain become greener and more sustainable. So, instead of giving them fish, we want to teach them how to fish, just like what we are doing here today,\" she said.

苹果iPhone制造商油墨第一风能在中国

苹果正在努力改善其供应链的环境影响,负责总碳足迹的70%以上。

北京:苹果宣布将合作伙伴金风科技世界上最大的风力涡轮机制造商,在项目中国这将产生285兆瓦的风力发电

这标志着苹果公司首次涉足风力发电,其最大清洁能源项目到目前为止,莉萨·杰克逊(Lisa Jackson)说,副总统的环境、政策和社会活动在苹果。

根据HK-listed金风科技,公司总部位于中国西北的新疆维吾尔自治区,苹果已经购买了30%的股权在四家公司运行四个风力发电项目在河南、山东、山西、云南,新华社报道。乐动扑克

四家公司在北京天润新能源投资有限公司,金风科技的子公司,声明说。

“我们一直非常警惕供过于求的问题。所以我们与金风公司合作,确保我们选择的四个项目是在省没有一个缩减的问题,”杰克逊说。

苹果正在努力改善其供应链的环境影响,负责总碳足迹的70%以上。

在一年前,苹果公司首席执行长库克(Tim Cook)宣布,该公司的目标是使其在中国的供应链由100%的可再生能源。

他承诺2000兆瓦的清洁能源仅在中国和世界各地的4000兆瓦。

苹果开始40-megawatt太阳能项目于2015年在中国西南部的四川省,它产生足够的能量来覆盖所有办公室和商店。

然后三个太阳能项目的支持下,可以产生170兆瓦的电力,去年在中国北部内蒙古自治区。

风能和太阳能项目是针对上游供应商不与苹果公司有直接业务关系,杰克逊说。
“这些项目将产生超过9亿千瓦时的电力,相当于所需的能量为690000中国家庭提供电力,”她说。

清洁能源将被添加到网格,这样供应商可以选择购买可再生能源,她说,并补充说,目前,他们不能直接从金风公司购买电力。

苹果也高兴看到它的主要供应商,包括富士康,镜头,麦田和苏威,致力于推动他们的苹果生产可再生能源。

所有的资金支持,通过苹果和它的供应商,将导致生成大约1400兆瓦的可再生能源在中国,杰克逊说。

“我们应该帮助我们的供应链成为更环保、更可持续。因此,而不是给他们鱼,我们要教他们如何鱼,就像我们今天在这里做什么,”她说。
