Huawei Digital Power produces low-carbon electricity

Huawei is also participating in energy innovation in line with the global trend of carbon neutrality for a greener future, according to the company.

According to the 2020 Sustainability Report released last year, Huawei’s efforts to create a more eco-friendly digital world, such as reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy and a circular economy, showed that the company had exceeded the 2016 target of reducing 30 percent of carbon dioxide emissions to 33.2 percent compared to the 2012 base year.

In addition, in 2020, it received the highest grade of “A” from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), an international environmental non-profit organization, in recognition of its contributions to reducing emissions, mitigating climate risks and developing a low-carbon economy.

As of the end of 2021, Huawei Digital Power, the company’s division in charge of solar energy encompassing smart photovoltaic (PV) equipment, data centers and site power, was operating R&D centers in 12 regions around the world, and held more than 1,600 related patents.

“Huawei has been strengthening its capabilities in a specific area of digital power,” Huawei Rotating Chairman Eric Xu said at Huawei Connect 2021.

In fact, last year, Huawei made a lot of innovations in the field of digital power and achieved significant results.

Huawei Digital Power integrates and innovates digital, power electronics and thermal technologies to manage watts by bit, helping customers save energy and reduce emissions. Through this, by the end of 2021, customers contributed to generating 482.9 billion kWh of eco-friendly electricity and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 230 million tons, which is equivalent in effect to planting about 320 million trees.

First, to build an eco-friendly power grid, Huawei Digital Power has developed a Smart PV & ESS Generator, a Smart String Energy Storage System, a C&I Smart PV Solution and a Residential Smart PV Solution.

Based on these, Huawei is providing energy storage and PV equipment to the Red Sea Project, the world’s largest micro grid energy storage project in Saudi Arabia. The project is also the first in the world to create a PV-only city with energy storage that can provide power to a million people.

It also supports DriveONE, a fullstack power solution in the realm of intelligent electric mobility to support green transportation, and is working to redefine the travel experience in terms of mileage, charging and safety.
