In the context of climate change being a global challenge, reducing CO2 emissions is an inevitable trend and plays an extremely important role for businesses, contributing to the development of a circular economy and environmental protection.
In 2021, MIDA participated in the Zero Carbon Project (TZCP) initiated by strategic customer Schneider Electric, with the goal of minimizing environmental impact by reducing CO2 emissions in business operations.
To achieve the above goal, MIDA has applied innovations and applied science and technology.
I. Transformation of energy-using technology:
- Conversion from diesel-powered plastic injection molding machines to electric-powered plastic injection molding machines.
- Conversion of lighting from compact to LED for workshops and office building areas.
- Use of air-conditioning systems with inverter technology to save energy.
- Conversion of diesel-powered forklifts to electric forklifts.
- Conversion of cooling towers to central cooling (frigel).
- Use of compressed air systems with inverters.
II. Optimize energy use:
- Use PME energy management system from Schneider Electric to optimally control energy-using devices.
- Continue to research and improve to optimize existing energy-using systems.
III. Combining Green Energy and Recycled Materials Usage:
-
MIDA is investing in a rooftop solar energy system, expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
-
Production activities utilize recycled materials.
IV. Offsetting Emissions with Carbon Credits from Green Energy Projects:
In the first half of 2025, MIDA purchased 1,050 credits, offsetting 1,050,000 MWh of electricity consumed.
In the second half of 2025, MIDA plans to purchase an additional 1,550 credits.
With these efforts, in the first half of 2025, MIDA reduced emissions by 60.1% compared to the 2015 baseline year. By the end of 2025, MIDA aims to maintain this emission reduction target.
MIDA has been continuously striving with various innovative initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions, contributing to building a sustainable green economy and protecting the environment.
