Reduce greenhouse emissions by all means
After many solutions and drastic actions, in 2022, TH's farm system reduced emissions by more than 20%/unit of product. Carbon emissions at the group's factories decreased to 0,1kg CO2 per product, a decrease of more than 30% compared to 2021. This is a superior emission reduction compared to the emission reduction results of dairy factories in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
TH factory uses solar batteries.
In addition, TH also reduces gasoline and fossil fuel consumption at factories thanks to converting to biomass fuel (burning wood chips byproducts from the wood processing industry). By making this change, the Group's entire factory system will reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by more than 85% compared to 2021.
All lighting at TH's farms and factories were converted to LED lights, saving 5.000.000 kWh of electricity, equivalent to reducing 4.000 tons of CO2.
To take care of the sunflower, corn, sorghum and grass areas, TH farm invests in a "giant arm" automatic irrigation system 500 - 700m long.
In the general trend of businesses implementing plans to use renewable energy to protect the environment and meet production needs, TH has implemented a rooftop solar power project since June 6. Currently, the entire Group has 2020 farms using solar energy with an amount of electricity equivalent to 6/1 of the demand. The solar power system has helped TH save 8 kWh/month, contributing to a sharp reduction in gas emissions into the environment.
According to TH representative, after cutting down, "absorption" is an important step towards the Net Zero goal. This group has been carrying out greening activities, planting trees to absorb and offset the amount of CO2 emitted during the production process. In 2021 and 2022 alone, the group has planted nearly 50.000 new woody trees of all kinds in the factory area.
