Huawei Wins WWF Climate Solver Award 2020
BEIJING, Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire - AsiaNet/ --

Climate Action Week - 2021 Zero Carbon Mission International Climate Summit 
(hereinafter referred to as "the Summit"), co-organized by World Wide Fund for 
Nature (WWF) and Phoenix TV, was held in Beijing on September 22. At the event, 
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huawei") won the WWF 
Climate Solver  award 2020 for its world leading FusionSolar Smart PV solution.

This year's Summit officially launched the annual Carbon Neutrality Action 
Leadership Award, which, based on the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) 
and the UN-supported Race to Zero initiative, was designed to recognize 
individuals, teams and projects with outstanding performance in business 
commitment, innovation in technology, actions that produce results, and 
impactful communications, with the aim of encouraging companies to take actions 
that help mitigate climate change, driving various industries to set up 
emission reduction targets, and setting an example for taking such actions.

The Carbon Neutrality Actor - Climate Solver of the Year award is a key 
component of the Carbon Neutrality Action Leadership Award, and is based on the 
WWF Climate solver program, an annual program launched in China in 2011. It 
aims to create favorable conditions for the promotion of climate technologies 
with revolutionary potential by identifying and selecting innovative low-carbon 
technologies, so as to contribute to the realization of the goal of keeping 
global average temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.

Since its launch in 2011, the award has recognized 34 innovative low-carbon 
technologies. Applications for the 2020-2021 Climate Solver Award opened in 
December 2020 and closed in March of this year. After rigorous compliance 
review, primary election, two rounds of evaluation by experts, accounting of 
emission reduction potential and on-site replies, the Huawei FusionSolar Smart 
PV solution was selected as the winner from a host of candidates.

This year's selection criteria were particularly stringent. The on-site reply 
session examined not only the level of technical advance (20%), the economics 
(20%) and the maturity (15%) of the candidate technologies, but also their 
ecological and environmental benefits, growth potential and social benefits, 
accounting for 20%, 15% and 10% of the overall score, respectively. 

As of June 30, 2021, Huawei Digital Power had helped customers generate 403.4 
billion kWh of electricity with green energy, saving 12.4 billion kWh of 
electricity consumption and reducing CO2 emissions by 200 million tons, 
equivalent to planting 270 million trees.

The Summit, under the theme of "Global Carbon Neutrality and China's Role", 
invited more than 70 guests, including Al Gore, former Vice President of the 
United States; Tu Ruihe, the representative of UNEP China Office; Jia Feng, 
Director of the Center for Environmental Education and Communications of the 
Ministry of Environmental Protection; and Marco Lambertini, Director General of 
WWF International, to discuss topics including global carbon neutrality, 
corporate resolve for achieving climate goals, green finance, energy 
transformation, green building and low-carbon transportation. The event aims to 
bring together resources, fully mobilize corporate engagement in addressing 
climate change, and provide diverse guidance and services such as strategic 
planning, technology application, results demonstration, knowledge sharing and 
international exchanges for local governments and enterprises to achieve the 
goals for peak CO2 emissions and carbon neutrality.
