Li Zhenguo: "Solar for Solar ? A Negative Carbon Emission Planet"in action

Mr. Li initiated the concept of "Solar for Solar ? A Negative Carbon Emission Planet". On November 2018, he elaborated this sustainable growth initiative at the COP24 in Katowice on Poland, that "Solar for Solar" is a transformative approach for the whole industry to produce all PV products of the entire supply-chain, completely relying on solar power, achieving zero carbon emission. The ultimate goal of such concept is to achieve negative-carbon-emission by growing more plants in the deserts, absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. To make this happen, irrigation is key to reduce land desertification and grow more trees. The water used for irrigation shall be processed through sea water desalination powered by solar energy, not from other energy generated by fossil fuel.

Mr. Li is also very vocal on key global events, including the 24th World Energy Congress organized by the World Energy Council, and the World Energy Leaders' Summit CEO Roundtable. He has been introducing the advantages of PV power generation through LONGi's initiative, hoping to get more support for the global PV industry.

LONGi Group to speed up business expansion in Europe

As a world-leading provider of PV products and PV services, LONGi Group's business presence and growth strategies in Europe receive great attention. During his visit to Europe, Li will meet with major partners in the region and discuss new ways of cooperation in the energy sector.

In Ostend, Belgium's famous coastal tourism destination, LONGi's 1,729 high-efficiency PV modules are now providing sufficient clean energy for Ostend Train Station; In Belgian's popular zoo, PairiDaiza, construction work is underway to install a total of 62,750 PV panels at the parking lot of the zoo, making it the world's largest PV power parking lot when the construction is completed in 2020 spring. Mr. Li Zhenguo will visit these two projects during his visits to review the cooperation process and see what more solar energy can offer in the future.

Li Zhenguo's visit to Europe, including his speech at the Fortune Global Forum and key visits to clients, will further activate the LONGi's business expansion in Europe, in an attempt to enhance its global presence and cooperation in the new energy sector. LONGi Group is committed to offering greater support for the transformation of the global PV industry, with the ultimate goal of turning solar power into a perfect energy solution for mankind.
