LEAD Unveils Its Inaugural Climate Action White Paper
WUXI, China, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On June 5, 2025, coinciding with the 54th World Environment Day, Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "LEAD") launched its first White Paper on Climate Action—a significant milestone in China's new energy equipment sector. This report, aligned with the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) framework, outlines LEAD's climate initiatives and proposes a replicable model for global low-carbon transformation. Commitment to Carbon Neutrality LEAD is the first in China's new energy equipment industry to announce carbon neutrality goals, pledging to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2035 in its core operations (Scope 1 and 2). To support this, LEAD has established a three-tier climate governance structure led by its Board of Directors, reinforcing employee accountability for emission reductions. By the end of 2024, LEAD completed carbon footprint assessments for several key products, two of which earned ISO 14067 certifications. LEAD regularly conducts GHG (Greenhouse Gas) accounting and verification in accordance with ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol, underscoring its commitment to transparency. Innovative Green Operations LEAD has adopted systematic practices in operational management. Its plant in Naila, Germany, operates entirely on green electricity, while a domestic rooftop photovoltaic project aims to generate over 10,000MWh of electricity annually in its first phase. By 2024, LEAD's digital energy management platform had saved approximately 1,680 MWh of electricity, and an optimized logistics packaging initiative had reduced around 674,900 tonnes of CO₂e. Furthermore, in April 2025, LEAD's factory at No.18, Xinzhou Road, Wuxi, became the first in China's intelligent equipment industry to receive ISO 14068 Carbon Neutrality Certification, demonstrating the viability of low-carbon transformation. Collaborating for a Low-Carbon Future LEAD recognizes that energy transformation requires collaboration across the entire industry chain. It prioritizes "high efficiency and energy conservation" in product design, offering sustainable solutions while expanding its industrial footprint. LEAD provides intelligent, efficient and low-consumption manufacturing solutions for lithium-ion batteries, photovoltaics, hydrogen energy, and energy storage. Notably, LEAD is advancing solid-state battery technology through innovations in dry electrode and ultra-thin electrolyte film production—driving the new energy industry toward lower energy consumption and higher energy density. Sustainability is LEAD's core mission, and the company is committed to promoting low-carbon practices and collaborating across the value chain to cultivate a thriving green ecosystem.

Lease pact signed for environment friendly plant
SUHAR: SOHAR Freezone has signed a land lease agreement with Matrix Alloys (FZC) LLC, a leader in low-carbon ferrochrome production, to build a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly ferrochrome plant. This initiative strengthens Oman's role as a regional hub for sustainable industrial development and supports the goals of Oman 2050 Net-Zero commitment to reduce carbon emissions and diversify the economy. The project, with an investment of $10 million, will occupy 2.2 hectares within SOHAR Freezone and aims to produce 20,000 tonnes annually of micro-carbon and low-carbon ferrochrome. The facility will meet stringent purity and sustainability standards demanded by key markets including Europe, Japan, South Korea and India. Utilising an electric-based production process that avoids coal and heavy-oil pollution, the plant will significantly reduce its environmental footprint and operate with zero waste gas or wastewater emissions. Furthermore, it seamlessly fits into Oman Vision 2040, promoting sustainable industrialisation and encouraging foreign investment to drive long-term economic growth and environmental stewardship. The first phase is expected to be operational by 2026. Bailin Yi, Chairman of Matrix Alloys (FZC) LLC, said, 'Launching our first international ferroalloy plant in SOHAR Freezone offers us a strategic location with excellent infrastructure, market access, and competitive, stable, and low-cost energy essential for the energy-intensive smelting processes. We are committed to delivering premium low-carbon ferrochrome products that support global stainless-steel producers and promote a cleaner industrial future.' Mohammed al Shizawi, Acting CEO of SOHAR Freezone, stated: 'This agreement underscores the trust that international investors place in SOHAR Freezone's integrated industrial ecosystem. Matrix Alloys is bringing advanced, sustainable manufacturing capabilities to our ferroalloy cluster, aligning perfectly with our vision to attract clean technology investments and strengthen SOHAR Freezone's position as a competitive gateway for global trade.' Matrix Alloys will benefit from SOHAR Freezone's proximity to raw material suppliers and customers, as well as direct port access, and a supportive regulatory environment that reduces operational costs. The plant also plans to secure ISO 14001 and ISO 14067 certifications to ensure full carbon emission traceability and compliance with international standards such as CBAM, EcoLeaf and K-ETS.
