BAODING, China, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green Energy
Holding Company Ltd. ("Yingli" or "Yingli
Solar") (NYSE:YGE), one of the world's leading solar panel
manufacturers, today announced that the draft of The Clean
Production Evaluation Index System of PV Cell (the System) has
been examined by subject matter experts at a conference at the end
of June 2016, which was the first
evaluation system in PV industry. Sponsored by National Development
and Reform Commission ("NDRC") and the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology ("MIIT"), China National Institute of
Standardization (CNIS), China Research Academy of Environmental
Science (CRAES), Yingli, along with other Chinese major leading
solar companies, were part of the project team to set up the System
since September 2013.
During the conference, a panel consisting of officials from NDRC and MIIT
as well as experts from CNIS, CRAES, and the PV industry discussed the System and reviewed the draft.
They concluded that the System included scientific and reasonable
indexes reflecting the characteristics of cleaner production of PV
cells with strong operability. The panel also suggested further
modifying the draft according to the comments of the reviewers and
submitting it to NDRC, MIIT, and the Ministry of Environmental
Protection for a joint release.
Based on investigations of the clean production status of tier
one PV companies in China, the
System establishes comprehensive evaluation indexes on the
production of PV cells including the production process, equipment
used, energy consumption, comprehensive utilization of resources,
pollution emission, product feature, and clean production
management. The establishment of the System is critical to the
sustainable development of PV cell production in China by improving energy conservation and
emissions reduction.
"Yingli expects to help lead and establish a benchmark for the
clean production of PV industry in China through the
System. Through the System, we are not only showing our
commitment to provide green energy for all, but we are also
pioneering the trend of clean production in the photovoltaic
industry through technology advancements and reduction of carbon
emissions in order to give back to our communities and protect the
environment," said Mr. Dengyuan Song, Chief Technology Officer of
Yingli.
