SEMI Semiconductor Climate Consortium and BCG Issue First Insider Report of Semiconductor Value Chain's Carbon Emissions
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The SEMI Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) today issued its first report of the semiconductor ecosystem's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile, an in-depth analysis of the semiconductor value chain's carbon footprint and priority-ranked carbon emission sources for the industry to address.
- MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The SEMI Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) today issued its first report of the semiconductor ecosystem's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile, an in-depth analysis of the semiconductor value chain's carbon footprint and priority-ranked carbon emission sources for the industry to address.
- Titled Transparency, Ambition, and Collaboration: Advancing the Climate Agenda of the Semiconductor Value Chain , the report provides the most comprehensive sustainability data available on the semiconductor ecosystem.
- Future manufacturing emissions scenarios: Current government and company commitments will substantially reduce manufacturing emissions, but they are still forecasted to overshoot the carbon budget for the 1.5°C pathway.
- Dilemma of value chain emissions: Digital technologies that require semiconductors play a crucial role in reducing energy use and emissions across industries while simultaneously adding to the overall carbon footprint.
