About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Volvo Cars' Taizhou plant switched to biogas for heating and uses on-site solar panels generating 40% of electricity needs, achieving climate neutrality as the first such plant in China for the company. This reduces Scope 1 and 2 emissions in manufacturing operations. Evidence: "This transition from natural gas will result in a reduction of 7,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year" — https://www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/sustainability/volvos-taizhou-plant-achieves-climate-neutrality-with-biogas-shift/534999
