DoNews, April 15 news (Ding Fan) This morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook posted on his personal Weibo: “Apple is proud to be carbon neutral and will let it be carbon neutral by 2030. Products and manufacturing have also achieved this goal. Today, we have taken another step by launching a $200 million fund to invest in productive forests. This is nature’s best way to remove carbon.”

In terms of power storage plans, Apple stated that the California Flats currently under construction by the company is one of the largest power storage plans in the United States. It can not only store 240 MW hours of energy to meet the daily power needs of 7,000 households, but also support Apple’s 130MW solar power plant. Under this plan, the relevant solar power plants will provide Apple with all the renewable energy needed by California in a timely manner by storing excess energy generated during the day. In addition to the California investment energy storage plan mentioned above, Apple will also be committed to researching energy storage technology, while building decentralized energy storage facilities in California’s Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara) through Apple Park’s microgrid.
