Energy Resources and Energy Conservation Measure
Energy Usage
In FY2022, the revenue of the Qianru Group grew, and the total energy consumption was 48,077.13 GJ, representing a 5% increase compared to FY2021. The energy consumption includes gasoline and diesel usage in company vehicles, and these are recorded when used by employees. Diesel is also utilized for generators and forklifts, and fuel receipts are used to track the consumption levels. ABC Group is committed to continuously optimizing its manufacturing processes for energy efficiency, aiming to achieve high revenue with low energy consumption. In addition to encouraging everyday energy-saving practices among its employees, the company is gradually implementing various energy-saving measures. For example, it is progressively replacing its air conditioning systems with variable frequency models and evaluating the installation of solar power generation equipment to increase the use of green energy sources.

- Note:
- The main production Factories are Taiwan Headquarters (Factory 2), Taiwan Factory 1, Guangzhou Factory, Shanghai Factory, and Malaysia Factory.
- The conversion factors for calculating fuel heat value and converting electricity heat value are sourced from the Environmental Protection Administration's (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Emission Coefficients Management Table 6.0.4 version. The conversion for electricity heat value is 1 kWh = 0.0036 GJ
The electricity emission coefficient is calculated based on the latest announcement from the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs. Electricity is 3,600KJ/kWh; gasoline is 7,800kcal/L; diesel fuel is 8,400cal/L.

Electricity Intensity at Each Manufacturing Sites
After the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on Climate Change was published in 2021 and the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 26) in the UK, which have set the goal to control the global temperature increase of no more than 1.5°C and to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030, the Group is actively engaged in the issue of combating climate change. The Group's main power consumption is by the use of equipment and machinery, air conditioning, lighting and office activities. In terms of equipment and machines, the main focus is on power-saving management for high power consumption. In terms of air conditioning, variable frequency air conditioning has been installed and proper usage has been promoted. In terms of energy saving and carbon reduction, the Company promotes the inventory and management of energy and resources, and has launched various carbon reduction actions.

- Energy-saving measures
- The purchase cost of purchasing a high-temperature box furnace to replace the traditional tunnel furnace is about 2 million ~ 5 million, and it is turned on when it is in use and turned off when it is not in use, and the power saving is as follows:
- Replacing conventional tunnel furnaces with high-temperature chamber furnaces would reduce carbon emissions by 16,200 per month KWH. The power consumption of the high-temperature chamber furnace is 3,800 times lower than that of the continuous operation
