蘋果攜手富士康投資清潔能源減少碳排放

Apple plans to boost its green credentials in China by investing in solar power generators and helping its manufacturing partners in the country become more environmentally friendly.

蘋果公司宣佈擴大其在中國清潔能源投資，以幫助中國減少碳排放。

Announcing the moves, Apple CEO Tim Cook said they will avoid over 20 million tons of greenhouse gas pollution in China between now and 2020, equivalent to taking nearly four million passenger vehicles off the road for a year.

蘋果公司CEO庫克介紹說，從現在起到2020年，這項計劃將幫助中國減少超過2000萬噸的溫室氣體排放，相當於近400萬輛客車停駛一年。

The new generators will be built in the north, east and south of China, producing enough energy to power 265,000 Chinese homes, according to Apple.

蘋果公司計劃在華北、華東和華南建立進行電網建設，生產能源可供給26.5萬中國家庭一年的用電量。

It has already finished building solar installations in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The first to be built by Apple outside of the United States, they are designed to produce more than the total amount of electricity used by Apple's 19 corporate offices and 24 retail stores in the mainland and Hong Kong, offsetting the energy used in the company's supply chain.

四川太陽能項目是蘋果公司的首個在海外建成的國際太陽能項目，由此所產生的電量可完全滿足蘋果公司在中國的所有辦公設施及零售店的能源消耗。目前蘋果公司在中國設有19家辦公室，在內地和香港開設了24家零售店。

Apple's major supplier, Foxconn, plans to build solar power generators with around twice the capacity of those announced by Apple, starting in central China's Henan Province, by 2018. Foxconn has committed to generate as much clean energy as its Zhengzhou factory in Henan consumes in final production of iPhones.

蘋果公司最大供應商富士康也將建設太陽能項目，在河南省進行試點，預計在2018年建成400兆瓦的太陽能項目。
